Healing Core Wounds from Alcoholic and Dysfunctional Families: A Soul Recovery Journey to Forgiveness

Send one way text to Rev Rachel

In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I open up about the journey of healing core wounds from growing up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional family system, reflecting on a heartfelt conversation with my son as he steps into fatherhood. Through my own experiences, I explore how the pain and patterns of the past shape our beliefs, behaviors, and sense of safety, and how Soul Recovery, gratitude, and forgiveness have transformed my life and my family's healing. I share how breaking generational cycles of addiction, releasing blame and resentment, and embracing self-compassion have allowed me to find peace and acceptance. This episode is about choosing to see the past as a teacher, not a burden, and allowing gratitude to be the catalyst for forgiveness. 

To support you on your journey, I have also published a Guided Meditation on Gratitude and Forgiveness designed to help you release pain, embrace love, and cultivate deep healing to the Recover Your Soul podcast. You can use the meditation right after listening or as a standalone practice to reconnect with gratitude and forgiveness.
