"Denial, Dunning-Kruger Effect and Self-Brainwashing"


This week's topic fits well with recovery  - because addiction, dysfunction, and even everyday human behavior all involve blind spots. 

The heart of recovery is recognizing that all of us can fool ourselves. 

When We Don’t Know What We Don’t Know

Whether dealing with betrayal, back-stabbing, being cheated on, lied to, or stolen from...

Or inflating our role in a situation (Main Character Syndrome!)...

We all have blind spots and every human is capable of deceiving themselves.

Listen to this week's tools and tips from the rooms to consider why people dwell in denial, how to come out of it and what we can do to not ignore reality.

Check it out!
