In The Circle

109. Can I Prevent A Relapse Before It Starts?


Listen Later

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re visiting one of my most impactful episodes - Episode 8. In this episode, Elizabeth brings a thought-provoking question to The Circle: Can I Prevent A Relapse Before It Starts?

Today's thoughtful inquiry comes as Elizabeth offers the deeply meaningful subject of relapse for closer inspection. In doing so, we reframe the meaning of the word, removing all shame from its existence, and call in the support of others on the path.

Where it’s easy to point blame at a person, a circumstance, even one defining moment – we learn to take a step back, in silence, to assess the many other variables that led to such a moment. In taking responsibility for how we can get there, it becomes easier to avoid repeating the same actions.

Tommy Discusses:

  • Relapse is not a necessity, even though it's very common
  • Optionality of relapse outcomes 
  • Identifying and traveling to different levels of consciousness
  • How can we avoid relapse?
