To say that you are broken says that you're not a human being and that there is an opportunity to find help, help and healing and recovery, and that to take that sense of imperfection and brokenness, it can be a beautiful thing, right, it can be a very humanistic thing, it can say like I'm the survivor, right, I'm on this other side right now.
Ever find yourself being your own worst critic, especially on the road to sobriety? In this episode of The Recovered Life Show, hosts Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist Candace Dale McKenzie to tackle the thorny issue of self-criticism. They dive into the concept of reintegration anxiety, where the self-critical mind runs wild, leading to damaging negative self-talk.
Candace shares practical tips for recognizing and combating these thoughts, stressing the importance of self-care and building a toolbox of coping strategies. The discussion also touches on the pitfalls of labeling oneself as 'broken' and the power of celebrating wins instead of dwelling on failures. As many are navigating new beginnings during the pandemic, this episode offers a treasure trove of advice for anyone wrestling with self-criticism and seeking a gentler path to recovery.
