True Caring, Tough Love & Brutal Honesty With Self
Welcome to this third episode of the “What’s the value of addiction?” podcast, with guest Gary Douglas. Gary Douglas is the founder of Access Consciousness®. He has relentlessly created beyond this reality for his whole life, always following his awareness & gone further than most people think is possible. He is one of my greatest inspirations & one of the few people that truly has my back.In this episode we have a very honest conversation about the beginning of my sobriety & how Gary was the catalyst for the biggest (and most uncomfortable change) I’ve ever undertaken. Sometimes true caring is tough love, something that Gary was willing to deliver that I now know saved my life.True caring is recognising when you’re enabling someone’s addiction vs. when you’re actually helping. It’s also recognising what someone can receive & what they can’t. We also talk about what it means to have your own back, and how you can’t give what you don’t have. And what does it mean to have brutal honesty with self? Something both myself & Gary have to work at every day. Key takeaways;- No one else can be a source for you, they can only be a contribution.- Need is a creation, not a reality. - True freedom lies in being willing to be, and knowing you can be, everything.- Choice is the creation of all possibility.RESOURCES & LINKS www.ellugar.com www.brendonwatt.comwww.accessconsciousness.com
