In the latest instalment of the Relational Recovery Podcast, Wes Thompson and Austin Hill take you on a journey through the importance of having a willingness to be taught. This episode, titled 'Willingness To Be Taught, Part 2', delves into the pivotal role humility plays in recovery and personal growth. It’s like they say, ‘You can’t teach an old dog new tricks’—but what if that dog is willing to learn?
Wes and Austin break down the barriers of addiction, focusing on how a teachable attitude can disrupt rigid mindsets that often accompany addictive behaviours. They highlight that being open to learning isn’t about admitting you know nothing, but rather acknowledging there’s always more to understand. In their candid conversation, they explore how humility is not a sign of weakness but a posture of courage and strength.
As Wes puts it, "Humility is the entry point when we think about willingness to be taught". The hosts dive into how recovery is not just about stopping destructive habits but about adopting life-giving ones. They stress the value of community, explaining that recovery is a collective effort requiring support from others. Whether it’s through a 12-step programme, therapy, or simply having a mentor, being open to guidance is crucial.
This episode is packed with relatable anecdotes and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone on a journey of recovery or those supporting loved ones through it. So, why not give it a go? You might just find a new perspective or a bit of wisdom that resonates with you.
