In this episode of RAW Recovery, Dion Miller dives into the often blurry line between advocacy and anger. With over two decades in recovery work, Dion brings a wealth of experience to the table, sharing his thoughts on the challenges of advocating for truth in a world rife with misinformation. It's not just about shouting louder but understanding the psychological barriers that prevent people from accepting facts that contradict their beliefs.
Dion's candid approach reveals how our minds are wired to reinforce existing beliefs, making advocacy a tricky terrain to navigate. Through engaging dialogue, Dion discusses how human biases, social dynamics, and modern media complicate the quest for truth. He highlights the illusory truth effect, where repetition can make false statements seem true, and explores the role of social media in shaping our perceptions.
With a touch of humour and raw honesty, Dion shares personal anecdotes and reflections on how anger can sometimes fuel advocacy, yet stresses the importance of transparency and empathy in communication. For anyone grappling with the complexities of recovery or seeking to understand the nuances of advocacy, this episode offers a refreshing perspective. Dion's insights remind us that while the path to truth is fraught with challenges, it is also filled with opportunities for growth and connection.
