Working with Hurt - Susskind and Merlino
from It’s Not About the Sex · host Westside Therapist
In this podcast, we offer an alternative approach to processing hurt. Traditionally, therapists focus on healing the hurt by talking it out with the transgressor (e.g. parent, significant other, co-worker). Instead, today’s podcast encourages you to take full responsibility for all of your feelings and reactions without blaming or finger-pointing. Because cumulative hurt can create vulnerability to relapse, this method supports long-term recovery and takes you out of the quicksand of falling into victim mode.
