Pt. 5","description":"Dear Listeners, Welcome to today\u2019s podcast, the conclusion of our five-part series of Julia\u2019s first-person recovery story. By its nature, what\u2019s being told here is certainly unique, as each person\u2019s journey is completely individual. But in this case, the highly unusual nature of our series goes further, as her team\u2014Janneli Chapin, Jack Gipple, and Chuck Knapp\u2014are also sharing their perspective, making this a truly rare opportunity to experience the multifaceted inner workings of a recovery journey. We had originally planned to have this series end after four segments. However, once we\u2019d finished with the original plan, Julia recognized that there was a bit more we needed to discuss\u2013having to do with looking at recovery altogether\u2014what it meant to her, and its \u201cmoving target\u201d nature. This led us into looking at what it took for her to actually want to recover, and the conditions at hand, including luck. There\u2019s a tremendous amount to learn from this series, but probably the most important takeaway is about the power of healthy, honest, and committed therapeutic relationships. Over the arc of their work together, the team helped her to rouse her natural courage to keep stepping back into the wilderness of change, and to eventually tolerate feeling more healthy\u2014and more loved\u2014than she had in a very long time. Julia\u2019s wonder at how she made it out of such entrapment gave rise to so much gratitude and love on her part\u2014actually, on everyone\u2019s part. That in itself will make listening to this podcast well worth the freight\u2014a heart-opening glimpse into the kind of love that can come out of sharing a recovery path. In wrapping up, let\u2019s come back to Julia\u2019s original inspiration for sharing her story, which is her question: could I be a voice for those still suffering? We didn\u2019t know how this series would play out when we first began, but now that we\u2019re done, I would most emphatically say YES\u2014you, Julia, have been a voice for those still suffering! And most importantly, you\u2019ve offered something to our audience which could be truly lifesaving, what Joanne Greenberg calls \u201cour most prized possession: hope\u201d. Thank you for making this journey with us, ","author_name":"Windhorse Journal Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/windhorsecommunityservices.com\/journal\/","html":"
