The Moment I GIVE IN: The Skill That Changes Recovery

13:28

We all have a moment when we want to give in, and cave to temptation.

Whether it's reaching for food, sending the text, scrolling, avoiding something difficult, or falling back into an old pattern, that moment can feel impossible to resist and unbearable.

But recovery isn't about never feeling discomfort. It's about learning the skill of staying with yourself through it. 

In this episode, I explore why we give in, what happens in our nervous system in those moments, and how somatic therapy can help you build the capacity to tolerate discomfort without immediately escaping it. 

If you've ever thought, "I know what I should do... but I can't" this episode is for you. 

You'll learn: 

  •  How understanding isn't enough to create change. 
  •  What happens just before we give in. 
  •  The skill that supports lasting recovery and emotional resilience. 
  • Why bearing discomfort is a skill worth developing.


Whether you're struggling with emotional eating, anxiety, relationship patterns, or other compulsive behaviours, learning to stay with yourself in difficult moments can change everything.
