“Recovery is a resumption of the work that was not completed when the woman was a girl. And so this is what recovery is: a developmental process of finding and building a new self.”
Recovery isn't just about abstaining from substances; it's a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', Dr. Stephanie Brown sheds light on the often misunderstood process of recovery. Drawing from her book 'A Place Called Self: Women, Sobriety, and Radical Transformation', Dr. Brown unpacks the myths that can cloud our understanding of what recovery truly means.

Brown argues it's far more nuanced than that. She describes recovery as a developmental process where you rebuild a new self, one that might have been neglected for years. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of recovery. With empathy and clarity, Dr. Brown guides you through the paradoxes and truths that make recovery a challenging yet rewarding journey.
Tune in to learn why recovery is not just a destination but an ongoing process of becoming your true self.
