Lucia C. ACA speaker

In this engaging episode of Recovery Radio Network, Lucia C. takes the stage as an ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) speaker to share her journey and insights into the critical role of the 'inner family' in recovery. Lucia's talk is a deep dive into understanding the 'critical parent' within us all, and how it can hinder our path to healing if not addressed properly.

She emphasises the importance of nurturing and protecting our inner child, explaining that without this crucial step, recovery can remain stagnant. Lucia's personal anecdotes, including her experiences with her father's bipolar disorder and her own battles with self-care, bring a relatable and heartfelt dimension to her message. Her discussion on using journaling and creative exercises, like drawing with the non-dominant hand, offers practical tools for listeners to confront their inner critic.

The episode also features Marcia Nelson, Lucia's close associate and a key figure in their training programmes, adding further depth to the conversation. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of how to balance nurturing and criticism within yourself, making it a must-listen for anyone on a recovery journey or supporting someone who is.
