397 - When Processing Emotions Goes Too Far
"The concepts around emotionally intelligence and emotional focused therapies are often quite liberating for those in recovery, especially if you were taught to suppress/repress/neglect your emotions growing up. While processing emotions is obviously important, is it possible to do too much of a good thing?
Today's podcast explores a common mistake men make when growing in their emotional health, while offering keys to finding a happy middle ground to ensure that emotions are valued and validated without become more important than they need to be."

396 - How To Handle Pre-Triggers
Handling triggers is the only way you can gain momentum in the recovery journey. Today's episode talks about the importance of setting strict boundaries around ANYTHING that is 'grey' or 'borderline' triggering, as these things often serve as pre-triggers that prime us for more vulnerable states/conditions later on. While it may seem "intense" or "extreme" to have firm boundaries around the people, content, and environments we engage in, there is a GOOD reason this is so essential for long-term success.

389 - How To Overcome Fear of Losing Progress, pt 2
A continuation of yesterday's episode, today's segment looks at the importance of identify formation and shifting when progress is made. Once you have identified the insecurity undergirding the fear (as explored in pt 1), it is then time to embrace the new identify that is forming. Failure to do so inevitably leads to relapse and a return to old ways.

388 - How To Overcome Fear of Losing Progress, pt 1
Progress is the name of the game when it comes to recovery. Unless God performs a miracle, the reality is that recovery takes time (and to be honest - even a miracle takes time before it finally happens usually!).
Today's episode talks about a common experience many men face when progress starts to take place – the fear of losing it! When you are at rock bottom, the only way is up. When you start to head up, then you have something to lose. For someone who has a history of relapse, broken promises, and cyclical behavior, progress can be scary and fuel the pressure of recovery. This episode provides the first step you must take when you begin to experience this fear, otherwise you will likely revert back to your old ways eventually.
