Healing from Guilt and Shame: Insights on Recovery

We all know what it's like to feel guilty and to be ashamed of things, and when you share that with other people and they share it with you, there's tremendous healing that happens in that context.
Ever feel like guilt and shame are holding you back on your recovery journey? In this episode of Wehab, Dr. Terry, Gary, and Howard tackle these heavy emotions head-on. They share their own stories and professional advice on how to heal from the burdens of guilt and shame that often accompany addiction. The conversation starts with an exploration of societal stigma and the harsh self-talk many people struggling with addiction experience.
The team then breaks down the difference between guilt (feeling bad about something you've done) and shame (feeling bad about who you are), providing clarity on how each affects recovery. They discuss practical steps like making amends and moving forward, emphasizing the importance of taking action to right past wrongs. The episode also highlights the power of reframing your experiences and finding meaning in them, which can help shift away from negative emotions.
One of the key takeaways is the healing potential found in shared experiences and community support. This episode is packed with valuable insights and strategies to help you break free from the emotional traps of guilt and shame. Tune in for a compassionate and supportive discussion that might just offer the perspective you need.
