When it comes to shame, there's little doubt about who is accountable. In my experience, shame usually goes down in one of two ways. They isolate, engage in self-deprecating talk, feel suicidal, cut themselves or take on more responsibility than they should.
Imagine trying to navigate the stormy seas of addiction recovery, only to find yourself tangled in a web of guilt and shame. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', Dr. Joseph Lee sheds light on these often-confused emotions and their distinct roles in the journey to sobriety. Drawing from his book, 'Recovering My Kid', Dr. Lee breaks down how guilt and shame can either hinder or help the recovery process.
He dives into the neurochemical rewards that fuel addiction and offers practical advice on separating shame from guilt, which can be a game-changer for those supporting loved ones through recovery. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or standing by someone who is, Dr. Lee's insights provide a fresh perspective on rebuilding trust and hope within families. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand the emotional landscape of addiction and recovery.
