The only way to be healed from something is to understand the something that hurt us. It's not by avoiding it, and that is something where you have to be very self-aware of how I tick.
What does it mean to truly know yourself? In this insightful episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dig into the crucial role of self-awareness in overcoming addiction. They stress the importance of being honest with yourself and recognizing your own vices as foundational steps toward genuine healing and growth. Drawing on Christian spirituality and psychological principles, Wes and Austin remind us that self-deception can easily lead to deceiving others.
They reference scriptures like Jeremiah and Timothy to underline that the heart can be deceitful, making it vital to keep a vigilant watch over oneself. The conversation also touches on the science of behavior change, emphasizing transparency and self-acceptance as key elements in the recovery process. The hosts caution against the pitfalls of radical fundamentalism and highlight the importance of having faith in both oneself and a higher power.
This episode is a thoughtful blend of inspiration and practical advice, encouraging listeners to reflect deeply on their own journeys toward self-awareness. Through honesty, transparency, and a commitment to personal growth, anyone can find their path to recovery.
