Summary
Nothing good comes from self-shaming. When relapse happens, it can be easy to fall into a shame cycle of self-loathing. When we promised ourselves we'd "quit for good," or "never fall back into old patterns," and find ourselves back there, it can be overwhelming. We may find ourselves scouring our memory to understand how we could have gotten back here. Or, maybe we're stuck in a cycle of dealing with unresolved trauma - feeling waves of shame and guilt that are all consuming.
In today's SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Pete. Currently in a state of relapse, Pete struggles to confront his relapse behavior until the intervention of the group steps in. The group also helped Adam. Struggling with unresolved trauma, the group walks Adam through the process of self-forgiveness to find healing and safety.
In today's SHAIR Recovery Coaching call, you'll learn:
- How self-loathing can contribute to relapse
- How trauma can lead to self-loathing, shame, and guilt
- The process of self-forgiveness
- How to find unconditional love when others aren't there to support us
