Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery

Send us a text

As young people, we are often taught refusal skills as it relates to saying no to drugs, alcohol, or unwanted sexual advances. Recovery has taught me that refusal skills are not just for the realm of substance use or sexual behavior. If we’re learning how to set boundaries, refusal skills are an essential part of it. This week’s episode 298 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go from chaos to composure- the power of refusal skills!

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

• My journey of learning to “stop dragging the story”- a habit of retelling the same story of negative experiences, perpetuating chaos and trauma in my life.
• Sharing an excerpt from the book Drop The Rock that introduced me to the invaluable tool that refusal skills are in protecting my peace.
• Things to consider and scripts to use when developing your refusal skills in real-world scenarios.

By developing refusal skills, you’ll be empowered to honor your needs, cultivate self-care, and create the life you truly desire. Start practicing these skills today and watch as your chaos transforms into composure.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
