But it's not just about endless positivity; Denise also stresses the importance of setting boundaries and practicing self-care. She offers practical advice on handling triggering situations and discusses the intriguing concept of 'giving what we keep'.
Throughout the episode, Denise's poetry collection, 'Pick Your Poison', serves as a backdrop, providing a unique resource for those on their own recovery paths. Tune in to learn how to better support yourself and others with empathy and understanding.
