Have you ever explained that the reason someone acts the way they do is simply because they are a dick? That\\u2019s exactly what I said about my father until a dump truck changed my perspective. One day as I was driving home from a recovery meeting, I saw a dump truck with two bumper stickers. Those two bumper stickers would flood my mind with memories that would eventually lead to a breakthrough of compassion I didn\\u2019t know I needed to understand. That\\u2019s why episode 142 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how this dump truck taught me compassion for my father!\\xa0

In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I\\u2019m sharing the importance of compassion and actionable steps you can take right now to help yourself come to terms with others\\u2019 behaviors.\\xa0

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

• My story of almost being crushed by an 18 wheeler at 16 years old, as well as another vehicle accident at 16, and why this relates to my relationship with my father.
• How I realized my dad was incapable of expressing other emotions besides anger, which I wasn\\u2019t able to understand until I went through recovery.
• How it all came together for me that day that family dysfunction is passed down from generation to generation, and how my father\\u2019s behaviors were actually the best he was capable of.\\xa0
• Why it\\u2019s so important for you to understand that you are capable of compassion for others.\\xa0

Another important lesson I have learned is that I need to reach out to get help and be witnessed by others. All of these profound things are things I have learned in recovery. May these kinds of profound realizations come to you as well.\\xa0 So be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.

Thank you for listening!
