Episode 54: Understanding Guilt & Shame (featuring Dr. Daniel Green)

Addiction and shame often go hand in hand and the impact on the individual and others can be devastating.  Many individuals struggle with addressing the guilt and over their actions and how they view themselves because of their addiction. Addressing guilt and shame is important for recovery to be successful; so why isn’t it often addressed in traditional therapy?  Listen as we talk about the relationship between guilt and shame with addiction, different ways to connect, and how to change our language to better understand the roles guilt and shame play in our lives and those trying to recover. Dr. Daniel Green, author of “Overcoming Guilt and Shame”, joins this episode to address the importance of learning about guilt and shame in relation to substance use and recovery.
