We're sabotaging ourselves left, right and center. It is because it is actually cool, because we have, we have done it, we have, we have actually the rite of passage- I think that's the most beautiful description I actually have heard and considered- for these huge challenges, because these huge challenges will happen to each and every single person on this world.
Have you ever found yourself running from grief, only to end up feeling even more lost? In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', Stephan Neff chats with Katie Roessler, a seasoned grief counselor, about the tricky dance between grief and addiction. Katie, who has over a decade of experience helping individuals and families navigate their emotional landscapes, shares her personal journey through loss and how it reshaped her approach to healing.
She reveals how many of us turn to escape addiction—whether it's alcohol, work, or other distractions—to dodge the discomfort of grief. But, as Katie explains, this only delays the healing process. Instead, she advocates for facing grief head-on, understanding its phases, and setting boundaries to protect our mental health. Katie also touches on her own experiences of writing a book to guide others through their grief journeys.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation filled with practical advice and gentle encouragement for anyone grappling with loss. Tune in to learn how to confront your grief and find a path to genuine healing.
