Choosing YOU This V-Day!

In this episode, Emma explores why taking a break from drinking and reducing alcohol consumption is the most radical act of self-care. She shares how the fear of being rejected, alone, and unloved can be present in people who drink, especially those with trauma in their backgrounds.

You’ll also discover how taking a break from drinking and taking care of oneself is an act of self-love and compassion, and is key to teaching children how to love and take care of themselves.

 

"Taking a break from or reducing your alcohol consumption is a radical act of self compassion and self love."

  2. What are the psychological and physiological effects of ingesting addictive substances like alcohol?
  3. How can we practice self-love and choose ourselves this Valentine’s Day without feeling guilty or ashamed?
