In this episode, I am speaking with Chris Robinson who is a Y12SR instructor. His journey in recovery had him seeking approval and validation. He had to open up to his needs revolving around that validation. Those needs had him going out and getting one certificate after another proving to him, and others, that he was valid, that he had something to offer. Knowing that we are what we have to offer is a big step in our growth and recovery. Knowing that we have nothing to prove and that we are the proof is a much bigger gift than any short-lived joy that a certificate can provide.
We also talk about his having gotten married and directly look at how easily we can allow others to pick up after us. I know when I was diagnosed with MS I saw first hand how grateful I was to not have a partner. Did not having a partner make things less comfortable? Yes, of course, I would have loved to have been coddled and cuddled but if I was I would have allowed it. I would have taken the easy route to be weak and allow myself to be coddled while slowly building resentment and manipulating that situation. Today I am so extremely grateful for my MS and all that it has shown me about myself. That would not necessarily be that case had I had a partner who I could lean on.

Broadening the conversation around recovery to include you is a big part of my mission. Challenging my guests is what I do so you can see that it is not so bad and has great outcomes. I cannot express how grateful I am to have so many wonderful people trust me to interview and challenge them, it is my hope, that I also am able to contribute to their lives and show you how you might better see your growth.
