"Any transition, it changes the dial of what that normal is and it's uncomfortable."
Transitions are an inevitable part of life, and in this episode of the Relational Recovery podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into how these changes impact recovery. Whether it's moving from addiction to sobriety or dealing with personal life changes like becoming a parent or losing a loved one, transitions can be both challenging and rewarding.
Wes and Austin share their personal experiences, including Austin's recent life changes, and discuss how these shifts can feel like threats but often lead to growth and positive outcomes. The episode also touches on the concept of 'normal' and how each person's baseline of comfort can vary. Using the analogy of a thermostat, they explain how transitions can adjust our 'normal' settings, making us uncomfortable at first but potentially leading to a healthier state.
They emphasise the importance of processing these changes healthily, whether they're positive or negative. Austin reflects on his daughter's graduation from high school as a significant transition for his family, highlighting the mix of emotions such events can bring. The conversation is rich with anecdotes and practical advice, making it relatable for anyone going through a period of change. This episode offers a blend of personal stories and broader insights into the nature of transitions in recovery and life.
It's a must-listen for anyone navigating changes and seeking to understand how to handle them better. Tune in for an engaging and supportive discussion that will leave you feeling both understood and hopeful.
