Turning Pain into Peace: A Journey of Sobriety and Healing

Episode Overview

  • Give shame back to its source to aid healing.
  • Focus on behaviour management rather than self-blame.
  • Healing is an ongoing process, not a one-time event.
  • Recovery involves finding your own path and art form.
  • Embrace failures as part of personal growth.
"When I drift from center, whether I lapse or relapse, those behaviours are not who I am."
What insights can experts and survivors share about addiction? In this episode of 'I Love Being Sober,' Tim Westbrook sits down with his personal therapist, Ken Wells, to discuss the transformative journey from trauma to healing. Ken, a nationally recognised expert in treating sex addiction, intimacy disorders, and trauma, opens up about his own path from a tumultuous childhood and clinical depression to 35 years of sobriety.
The conversation explores the power of giving shame back to its source and how focusing on behaviour rather than self-blame can lead to profound healing. Ken shares his unique approach to managing emotions, drawing from his own experiences of rage and anger, and turning them into compassion and self-worth. The episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and offers valuable insights for anyone on their own recovery journey.
Whether you're dealing with addiction, codependency, or trauma, Ken's story provides hope and practical advice. As you listen, you'll be reminded that healing is an art form, and you're the artist of your own life. So, how do you turn pain into peace? Maybe it's time to find out.
