The Persistent Message of Shame w/ Dr. Jake Porter

Dr. Jake Porter explores the pervasive and often misunderstood role of shame in recovery by defining shame and examining why understanding its messages is crucial for lasting growth.

Even after significant recovery, shame can persist—like background noise—resurfacing when we least expect it. We discuss strategies for recognizing and responding to shame, including how to navigate triggers from loved ones, childhood experiences, or the fear of rejection. Listeners will learn practical ways to continue healing long after the initial addictive behaviors have changed, and how to support others in processing their own shame without amplifying it.

This conversation highlights the importance of awareness, empathy, and self-compassion, showing that recovery isn’t just about behavior—it’s about transforming the internal narratives that drive it. By leaning into this work, we create space for deeper freedom, connection, and emotional resilience.

Listen to conversations about recovery, healing, and finding freedom in Christ.
