Do you ever feel like you hit the same struggle at the same time every day?

Breathing, walking, or distraction helps—but what if the way you see yourself or the world is stuck in old stories? 🧠 My new @psychologytoday.com article explores why coping skills alone may fall short, & how “fire retardants” lead to recovery that holds up.

🌱 In recovery, it’s easy for people to miss the forest for the trees. You may be working hard—exercising, eating better, going to therapy, building structure—and yet someone still nitpicks one tiny thing, like what you’re drinking or whether you made your bed.
