Making amends can lift the burdens by changing my beliefs and feelings into more positive ones.
Have you ever wondered how to truly make amends for past actions? In this episode of 'Recovering from My Child's Addiction,' Shelly Summers dives into the intricacies of Step 9 in the Nar-Anon Program. Step 9 is all about making direct amends to those we've harmed, but it's not just about saying sorry—it's about taking meaningful action to repair relationships and ease our own burdens of guilt and resentment.
Shelly breaks down the difference between a simple apology and a genuine act of making amends, offering practical advice on how to identify the right people to approach and how to plan these important conversations. She even touches on the idea of role-playing scenarios with a sponsor to build confidence. But what happens if your amends are rejected? Shelly addresses this tough possibility and shares strategies for coping with such outcomes.
Plus, she explores the concept of 'carrying baggage' and how making amends can help lighten this emotional load. If you're navigating the challenging waters of recovery and looking for guidance on how to make amends, this episode is a must-listen.
