The first step is to admit yourself that you are a human being. We all make mistakes, we all have strengths, we all have weaknesses.
Imagine battling an inner voice that constantly tells you you're not good enough. In this episode of 'Addiction Files', host Shane Meyer dives into the second part of his discussion on self-esteem and addiction, focusing on the 'pathological critic'. This relentless inner critic often stems from childhood experiences and can be a significant barrier for those trying to overcome addiction. Shane unpacks how this negative self-talk perpetuates feelings of inadequacy and hinders recovery.
He also offers practical tips to quiet this critical voice and boost self-esteem. By recognizing our humanity, embracing both strengths and weaknesses, and reinforcing positive self-talk, listeners can take crucial steps towards personal growth and sobriety. If you're on a journey to conquer addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable strategies to silence the critic within and build a healthier, more fulfilling life.
