Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! Kev is back with Part 2 of his eye-opening conversation with Dr. Fred Luskin – a world-renowned forgiveness expert, Stanford scholar, and mindfulness coach In this powerful episode, Dr. Luskin dives into how he coaches elite Division 1 athletes at Stanford to break free from perfectionism and forgive themselves when things don’t go as planned. He also talks about the shocking link between resentment and relapse – and why letting go is the key to true recovery, and the secret to self-forgiveness (hint, hint: we need to stop over-apologizing!) It's time to let go of the past, stop self-sabotaging, and use forgiveness as your superpower for healing, success, and happiness. Don’t miss it! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: Forgiveness & Addiction Recovery Resentment is the #1 trigger for relapse. Dr. Luskin’s forgiveness-based approach to recovery helps addicts release guilt and shame, which are major emotional drivers of addiction. Gratitude is a Powerful Tool for Rewiring the Brain Negative thoughts naturally dominate our thinking as a survival mechanism.. A more empowering approach is to intentionally practice gratitude. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront AquaTru: https://aquatruwater.com/ code: HEALSQUAD Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Sleep Number: https://www.sleepnumber.com/ GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Fred Luskin Website: https://fredluskin.com/ The Forgive for Good Recovery Workbook: Overcome Addiction, Heal Your Past, and Find Peace in Sobriety: https://fredluskin.com/books/ Tedx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fZhku-TqmI The Stanford Forgiveness Project: https://med.stanford.edu/survivingcancer/coping-with-cancer/cancer-and-forgiveness.html ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
