What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? Join Matt and Paige Robinson as they dissect the difference between coping and healing in episode #262 of 'Till The Wheels Fall Off.' With over two decades of experience in addiction recovery and mental health, this dynamic duo brings their relatable and often humorous perspective to the table. They discuss how coping can act as both a lifeline and a hindrance, stressing that while it's essential for survival, it's not the ultimate goal.
Through personal anecdotes about burnout and stress, they highlight the importance of emotional boundaries and self-care routines. But don't be fooled—it's not just about taking bubble baths or hitting the gym. Matt and Paige dive into complex concepts like allostatic load and polyvagal theory, offering real-world examples that illustrate when it's time to stop merely managing chaos and start making meaningful changes.
This episode also features a nod to Soberlink, an accountability device that helps rebuild trust in relationships strained by alcohol use. Matt shares how this tool can serve as both a motivator and a support system, helping those in recovery stay accountable. Are you just coping, or are you truly healing? This episode is packed with insights that challenge listeners to evaluate their own strategies for dealing with life's hurdles.
So, are you ready to shift from merely surviving to genuinely thriving?
