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. Is it just about moving from bad to good? Or achieving complete independence? Dr.
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.
