Compassion involves feeling moved by others' suffering so that your heart responds to their pain. But also others understand kindness to others when they fail or make a mistake. And when we're suffering or we fail at something we can feel, we can feel it.
Ever wondered how being kinder to yourself could help in your journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'The Outsiders', Sevda Hussein dives into the often-overlooked topic of self-compassion and its crucial role in overcoming addiction. With 15 years of sobriety under her belt, Sevda shares her personal experiences and the lessons she’s learned about treating oneself with the same kindness and understanding we often reserve for others.
Sevda opens up about her own battles with negative thinking patterns and how they can quickly spiral out of control, especially for those grappling with addiction. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing these harmful thoughts without judgment and replacing them with more supportive self-talk. Imagine speaking to yourself as you would to your best friend – that’s the kind of shift Sevda encourages.
Throughout the episode, Sevda offers practical tips for adopting self-compassion, such as acknowledging your emotions openly and practicing mindfulness. She believes that fostering a sense of kindness towards oneself can lead to greater emotional balance and overall well-being. Her insights are not just theoretical; they come from a place of lived experience and genuine empathy. This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone looking to add self-compassion to their recovery toolkit.
Whether you’re at the beginning of your sobriety journey or supporting someone else through theirs, Sevda’s wisdom provides a comforting and empowering perspective. Tune in for practical advice, personal stories, and a reminder that you have everything you need within you to overcome addiction.
