If you’re anything like me, you have used food, substances, or other people to numb your feelings. That’s why reconnecting with your feelings is a crucial step in recovery. Today, I will be reading some excerpts from ACA’s “Loving Parent Guidebook” that offer helpful insights on the importance of understanding and honoring your feelings. This week’s episode 301 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to reconnect with your feelings- a key step in recovery!

In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m reading from chapter 10, Feeling is Healing of ACA’s “Loving Parent Guidebook, and sharing with you some of the profound insights I have gleaned from these readings.

Reconnecting with your feelings is a powerful step towards healing and personal growth. By understanding and honoring your feelings, you can break free from victim mentality and take constructive action in your life. Embrace this journey of self-discovery and unlock the transformative power of emotional intelligence.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
