S2E7 The Highs and Lows of Recovery with Andrea Ashley
Have you been in recovery, or working on emotional or spiritual growth for a while, and feel stuck? How do you navigate the inevitable highs and lows, the ebb and flow, of life in general? Do you think that just because you are not where you "should" be, that you are doing something wrong?
- Embracing a life of recovery, which includes moments of growth as well as weeks or months of feeling stuck
- Understanding that what may feel like regression is still growth
- How to work with your inner child to heal old stories that drive depression and other emotional pain
- A desire to go to deeper levels of healing in recovery aside from just not drinking
- Breaking out of the loop of negative excitement
- Identifying what a shame hit looks like
- How to balance self-compassion with holding ourselves accountable
- How to express how you are feeling instead of placing a judgment
- How our phones are ruining our lives!
