Ep. 138 | Why Half-Surrendering Is Keeping You Stuck
from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel
In today's episode, I'm sharing something a friend said to me recently that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. He called it a one-handed surrender — the willingness to put down the behavior but not to look at what's underneath it. Not just in recovery. In the relationship you left but whose patterns you brought to the next one. In the job you resigned from but whose defenses traveled with you. Today's episode is about the second hand — the one that stays gripping — and what becomes possible when you finally open it. Question to carry into your day: What are you still gripping with one hand — and what are you afraid you might find if you finally let it go? If the one-handed surrender is showing up around your body and food, let's talk.
