Sometimes it's us, it's we ourselves that put us on the sidelines, that feel like we don't belong, that we can't participate, that we have nothing to offer, and so we end up marginalized by our own thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, by our own discouragement and perhaps even encouraged to be off to the side, pushed to the side because of the malicious work of the evil one that says: you don't have anything to offer, get over there, get out of the way.
Imagine feeling weighed down by stigma and shame, believing these labels define who you are. In this episode of 'Encounter with Dr. Ken', Dr. Ken Buckle dives into the deep-rooted issues of stigma and shame that many face during their recovery journey. Drawing from his vast professional experience and the timeless teachings of the Catholic Church, Dr. Ken unpacks how these negative feelings can attach themselves to our sense of self, making us feel marginalized and isolated.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way. Dr. Ken offers practical advice on breaking free from these harmful cycles. He emphasizes the power of humility and accurate self-reflection as tools to overcome self-doubt and discouragement. Shifting focus from our afflictions to our true identity as beloved children of God, Dr. Ken encourages listeners to embrace their worthiness of love and belonging. This episode also touches on the importance of community and support systems in the recovery process. Dr.
Ken discusses the challenges of navigating relationships with family and friends who might not fully understand the journey of recovery. With a compassionate narrative, he underscores the significance of finding a supportive community that uplifts rather than judges. Whether you’re personally on the path to recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical wisdom.
Tune in to discover how to break free from the chains of stigma and shame and step into a life filled with dignity and connection.
