When we soothe our agitated minds with self-compassion, we're better able to notice what's right as well as what's wrong, so that we can orient ourselves toward that which gives us joy.
Why do we often think we need to be tough? For many men, the message has always been to hide emotions, suppress pain, and act strong. But what if that approach is actually harming us? In this episode of 'Understanding Violence Addiction', James M. tackles the importance of self-compassion in the journey of recovery. He shares his own experiences with physical, psychological, and emotional pain, revealing how embracing self-compassion has been a game-changer for him.
By tuning into our feelings and developing emotional intelligence, we can create genuine intimacy and connection with others. Self-compassion is about being kind to our inner child, treating ourselves with care, love, and empathy. It's about soothing our minds and recognizing both the good and the bad, which helps us focus on what brings us joy. James acknowledges that growth in recovery isn't always straightforward—it can be a two-steps-forward-one-step-back process.
He encourages listeners to share their own experiences with self-compassion, emphasizing that everyone faces their own struggles and challenges. If you or someone you love is dealing with violence addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tools for overcoming it and living a more fulfilling life.
