Relapse Isn’t Failure: What It Reveals About the Nervous System (Ep. 11)

Relapse recovery • nervous system healing • addiction recovery • shame and relapse In Episode 11 of Reconnection Moments, Dr. Michael Barta reframes one of the most misunderstood words in recovery: relapse. Relapse isn’t a moral failure. It’s a nervous system event. When stress, shame, conflict, or emotional overwhelm exceed internal capacity, the survival system takes over and reaches for what once provided relief. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why relapse has nothing to do with discipline or commitment • What happens in the brain and nervous system during relapse • How relapse signals a loss of internal safety • Why shame and secrecy turn relapse into collapse • How curiosity and support transform relapse into growth • The question that shifts relapse from failure to data • How authenticity, vulnerability, transparency, and presence change the cycle Relapse often means healing is asking for more support—not more control. If you’ve struggled with shame after slipping, this episode offers a compassionate and neuroscience-based perspective on recovery. 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/re... 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3wobW9a... 📘 Learn more about the Reconnection Model: drmichaelbarta.com If this episode helps you see relapse differently, like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope.
