Episode Overview
- Life mapping involves organising memories to understand personal history.

- Creating a life map helps identify patterns and gaps in memory.
Whatever the early stuff was like, it set the stage for how we relate later in life.
In this engaging episode of the Relational Recovery podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the intriguing concept of life mapping and its connection to trust. They explore how our early experiences shape our current relationships and perceptions, offering a blend of Christian spirituality and psychology to aid recovery from unwanted behaviours. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, they discuss how to create a life map using memories and emotions as guiding tools.
The process involves jotting down significant memories on post-it notes, arranging them chronologically, and examining any gaps. The hosts emphasise the importance of understanding how these memories made us feel at the time, rather than how they make us feel now. This reflection leads to interpreting the events and considering what beliefs or vows we might have formed as a result. For example, painful experiences in adolescence might lead to a vow never to be vulnerable again.
The episode offers a thoughtful approach to understanding oneself and improving relationships, highlighting that even if our upbringing wasn't perfect, we can still work towards healing and connection. With light humour and empathy, Wes and Austin encourage listeners to ponder their own life maps and consider how trust plays a role in their recovery journey. Why not give it a listen and see what memories surface for you?
