Compliance vs. Surrender: The Psychological Tightrope


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re tackling a psychological showdown for the ages: Compliance vs. Surrender.

Ever wonder why you say "yes" when your soul’s screaming "no"? Or how letting go might just be the secret weapon in your recovery arsenal? As your resident psychology nerd (with a dash of humor to keep it real), I’m diving deep into the mind’s tightrope—breaking down Milgram’s shocks, Jung’s shadows, and what 12-step programs get right.

We’ll explore how compliance keeps us stuck, especially in addiction, and why surrender isn’t giving up—it’s leveling up. Expect some laughs, a few "aha" moments, and practical insights you can take into your sober journey. Hit play, drop a comment, and let’s wrestle with this together!
