Shining a Light on Shame: Transforming Beliefs for Recovery
Recovery is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. You have to give a little every day: increase, improve, expect to have some back days, expect to have some forward days.
How do we deal with the shame that often accompanies addiction and recovery? In this episode of the Winning Together Podcast, the hosts tackle this heavy topic head-on. They explore how our shame stories shape our beliefs and actions, and how transforming these can lead to redemption and progress.
With a mix of professional insight and personal anecdotes, the coach and clinician break down the difference between guilt and shame, emphasizing how crucial it is to foster connection in the recovery journey. They dive into the power of vulnerability and grace, showing that tattletelling – or being open about our struggles – can be a powerful tool for healing.
The episode also touches on how the novel coronavirus has changed our world and how we can adapt to these changes while maintaining our recovery. One standout moment is when they remind us, 'Recovery is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change'. This episode is perfect for anyone grappling with shame, seeking to transform their beliefs, or looking for ways to connect more deeply with others on their recovery journey.
