The Alcohol ReThink Podcast with Patrick Fox

168. Disappointment, Triggers and Building Resilience


Listen Later

What do you do when you feel disappointed?

Do you acknowledge that you didn't achieve what you set out to and that's ok OR do you beat the crap out of yourself instead?

Unfortunately for many, it's the latter and it sucks.

In episode 168 of The Alcohol Rethink Podcast, host Patrick Fox discusses the importance of understanding and dealing with disappointment, especially when it comes to rethinking alcohol and changing habits.

He shares personal experiences and insights on how disappointment can trigger unhealthy coping mechanisms, and highlights the need to recognise and adjust expectations where necessary.

You will hear Patrick offer practical steps for managing disappointment, including acknowledging your feelings, adjusting goals, and practicing self-compassion.

Get ready to hear about the power of patience and developing resilience as you rethink alcohol.
