There is a process to getting to trusting the process
Trusting the process in addiction recovery can be a daunting task, but it's a crucial step toward healing and growth. In this episode of The Millennium Counseling Center Podcast, the focus is on how openness, curiosity, and accurate assessment play vital roles in making better life decisions. The hosts discuss the importance of building trust with therapists and support groups, especially when trust has been broken in the past.
They acknowledge that asking someone to have blind faith can be challenging, but emphasise the value of approaching recovery with an open mind and a sense of curiosity. The conversation highlights how people often overestimate the benefits of their addictive behaviours while underestimating the costs. By accurately assessing these costs and benefits, individuals can make more informed decisions about their recovery journey.
The hosts also stress the importance of loved ones supporting the recovery process by adopting a curious and open mindset themselves. A significant part of the discussion revolves around the idea that recovery is not a linear path. Progress may be slow and filled with setbacks, but recognising even small improvements can be incredibly motivating. The hosts suggest being strict with plans before a relapse occurs and offering grace and care if it does happen.
This approach helps individuals get back on track without being weighed down by shame and guilt. This episode offers valuable insights for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting a loved one, you'll find practical advice and compassionate perspectives that can make a real difference. Tune in to learn more about trusting the process and finding your path to a healthier, happier life.
