Play Episode Listen Later Oct 13, 2022 17:17


Psychological resistance is often unconscious and blocks our ability to change. It can be baffling, frustrating, and threatens the healing process. However, when used in a therapeutic manner it often leads to new growth and healing. However, it is a common natural part of being human. People who are seeking psychotherapy are a unique position of being able to examine in what ways they self-sabotage or get in their own way. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/xan0/message

The story you tell others and yourself about your experiences in life begin with your ANS. It is helpful to practice how you shape your story. Take a minor irritation that you experienced and try telling it from the Safe and Connected State, the Fight or Flight state, and or Dorsal Vagal. You are the protagonist in your life story. You make choices. One of the choices you make is the story you tell yourself.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Kelly+JF&cauthor_id=32159228 AA's 12-Step approach follows a set of guidelines designed as “steps” toward recovery, and members can revisit these steps at any time. The 12 Steps are:9 We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/xan0/message

Matt leads me through an experiential exercise in which I become more in touch with what I am trying to avoid while doing paperwork. This process helps listeners to identify what they might be trying to avoid or control in their own lives. It educates the listeners about ACT. It discusses how our mental processes such as evaluating and judging despite being evolved processes for our survival can work against us. He touches on our values can act as motivators to helps us overcome our experiential avoidance. He differentiates between what is cognitive restructuring and cognitive diffusion. Finally, the interview ends on a personal note in which we both discuss how ACT has influenced our paths in coping with chronic pain.

Alcohol abuse causes complex changes in the brain that drive the addiction, and understanding the powerful chemicals that are at play in driving such compulsive behavior is the first step toward developing self-compassion if you have an alcohol use disorder. Everyone has something about themselves that they don't like, something that causes them to feel shame, to feel insecure, inadequate, not enough. Self-compassion does not mean that we are not responsible for dealing with our lives, it doesn't mean we should be self-indulgent. Having an alcohol use disorder means you need support to fully recover. In our last episode I gave a few resources for getting this support. Today another resource is called Smart Recovery Online.
