“People don't inherently wake up looking to just set the world on fire. Things have happened in their lives that have led them to have these thoughts and these feelings. And we cannot tell somebody their reality isn't real.”
Ever thought about how the words we use can shape our reality, especially in recovery? In this eye-opening episode of 'From Sobriety to Recovery', Jesse Mogle tackles the powerful impact of stigmatizing language on both individuals and society. Jesse doesn't just skim the surface; he digs deep into how self-stigma, societal stigma, and institutional stigma can hinder the recovery journey and perpetuate feelings of shame and isolation.
Through heartfelt anecdotes and sharp observations, Jesse helps us see how our words can either uplift or drag down those struggling with addiction and mental health issues. He introduces the REACT framework—Recognize, Explain, Act, Care, and Turn—to guide listeners in changing their language patterns and supporting those who are stigmatized. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to be more mindful of their words and make a positive impact on the recovery community.
