Episode 8: Permission Slips or Progress Blocks? Understanding Permissive Thoughts
EPISODE SUMMARY:
In this episode of Breaking Free From Within, host Prairie Francia explores the concept of permissive thoughts—those sneaky internal justifications that can quietly derail recovery and progress. Whether you’re overcoming substance use, emotional eating, or codependent patterns, these thoughts often sound like “Just this once won’t hurt” or “I deserve it,” but they create dangerous openings for relapse. Prairie shares real-life examples, offers a simple 3-step tool to work with these thoughts, and closes with reflective journal prompts and a powerful mindset shift. If you’ve ever felt like you were doing well and suddenly slipped, this episode is for you.
