À propos de cet audio

 What happens when a relationship to alcohol that once felt easy and enjoyable begins to feel complicated?In this episode, Richard shares his experience of becoming torn about alcohol and how he used parts work to think through and reshape his changing relationship with drinking. Following a health scare, Richard knew something needed to change, but stopping outright didn’t feel simple or right. Instead, he found himself navigating competing inner voices: parts that valued pleasure, routine and social connection, alongside parts that wanted health, clarity and self-respect.This episode explores how parts work can help us move away from shame, rigidity and willpower-driven change, and towards curiosity, compassion and inner collaboration.To deepen your understanding of parts work, you may want to listen to Episode 9: What is Parts Work and Why Is It Important?In that episode, a therapist explains the original theory behind parts work and offers further insight into how you can use it yourself and how working with a trained therapist can provide additional support.Listen here:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-torn-podcast/id1843063117?i=1000743928274Additional resourcesWe want to offer a range of resources alongside this episode, depending on where you or someone you care about may be in relationship to alcohol.For those rethinking their drinking:Alcohol Change UK: https://alcoholchange.org.uk/NHS alcohol advice and support: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/alcohol-advice/alcohol-support/Sober Curious podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/sober-curious/id1460377009This Naked Mind podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-naked-mind-podcast/id1287269357For those actively worried about dependent or addictive drinking — their own or someone else’s:NHS alcohol support: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/alcohol-advice/alcohol-support/Find local alcohol addiction services: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/find-alcohol-addiction-support-services/SMART Recovery UK (also supports other forms of addiction): https://smartrecovery.org.uk/We Are With You (drug, alcohol and mental health support): https://www.wearewithyou.org.uk/Important note: This episode does not replace professional support.
