Show Notes Chapter Markers

It’s occurred to me recently that a huge part of 12-step recovery is changing our perceptions or the ways in which we perceive certain concepts. And when we can make these mental shifts, the way we view our circumstances or situations we find ourselves in changes drastically. This week’s episode 241 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about 3 conceptual shifts learned in recovery and how they’ll change your life!

In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing 3 (of the many) shifts that have come up for me personally, with a client or with someone in recovery, and sharing how these shifts might come up in your life and what to do about them when they do. 

The 3 conceptual shifts I go over in this episode include:

  1. Making the distinction between submitting to something and surrendering to something.
  2. Understanding that something may be reasonable and at the same time, unrealistic.
  3. Drawing the line between acceptance and setting boundaries.


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.

Setting boundaries with unacceptable behavior, enforcing consequences with personal action.
