The way that we're interacting with sex and with anger and loneliness is not leading to flourishing. It's actually leading to the opposite.
Ever wondered why anger, loneliness, and sex often intertwine during recovery? In this episode of 'Healing Connections', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive deep into these complex emotions. They start by acknowledging that feeling angry or lonely isn't inherently bad. In fact, anger can signal what we're passionate about. The tricky part is managing it in a healthy way to avoid damaging relationships and actions.
Loneliness, on the other hand, can lead to seeking comfort in unhealthy behaviors, including sexual activities. But don't worry, Wes and Austin aren't here to judge. Instead, they promote a compassionate and curious approach to understanding these feelings. They stress the importance of self-awareness in recognizing why certain things trigger us and how our actions reflect our inner struggles. By embracing this self-awareness, you can start to break free from the shame often tied to these emotions.
The hosts remind us that everyone feels shame about their sexuality at some point, regardless of their moral beliefs. So, if you're grappling with unwanted behaviors, remember that recovery is within reach. Tune in to 'Healing Connections' and learn how to navigate these emotions with compassion and curiosity.
