050 Unlocking Recovery

Episode Summary

In this episode, Roane and Ben discuss emotional dysregulation, emphasizing its importance in recovery and life. They explain that emotional dysregulation means not being able to manage emotions under stress, often learned from childhood experiences. Men, in particular, struggle with emotional awareness, often turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms like pornography. They highlight the need for awareness, understanding core emotions (mad, sad, glad, afraid), and developing healthy coping skills. The conversation also touches on the challenges of emotional communication in relationships, advocating for mutual curiosity and community support to navigate emotional triggers and behaviors.
