Sam Was Here:  Losing My Son to Addiction

#33 Guilt and Rumination: 4 Ways it's Harmful/Unreasonable For Us and 4 Stratagies I Use For Dealing With My Own Guilt


Listen Later

One of the biggest burdens I was left with when Sam died is guilt.  When we hold onto guilt for a situation we can not/could not solve, it's unreasonable and can also harm our healing.

In this Episode, I discuss why we need to challenge our guilt and rumination with reason and logic by talking about 4 ways/reasons that guilt can harm our healing and why it doesn't make sense to accept it.   I also discuss 4 ways that I have discovered I can help myself when guilty feelings take over again.
