Unmasking Hidden Insobriety: Emotional Addictions and the Cycle of Embarrassment

Our behaviors are a byproduct of our emotional addiction, and that's why the alcoholic doesn't need to say: I'm an alcoholic. You can sit there and you can hide it from everyone else, but you know if you're drinking all day. You know if you're chain smoking. You know if you're cheating on your partner. You know if you're impulsively jumping into relationship after relationship. But that's the bare minimum. And there's people that don't even know that.
Ever wonder why certain emotions seem to have a grip on your behavior? In this episode of 'Levelheaded Talk', Dr. Andrea Vitz is joined by Amanda Creighton, EMSO student and CCO of Levelheaded Doc, to unravel the concept of hidden insobriety. They dive deep into how our emotional addictions, particularly embarrassment, can shape our actions and perpetuate unhealthy cycles.
The duo explains the trauma drama cycle, shedding light on how our behaviors generate chemicals that feed our emotional addictions, creating a loop that's hard to break. Self-awareness and reflection are highlighted as key tools for identifying these patterns. Amanda shares her personal battle with food obsession, while Dr. Vitz emphasizes the importance of gentleness and invitation in fostering emotional sobriety.
This raw and engaging conversation will leave you with a better understanding of how emotional sobriety can lead to more fulfilling relationships, improved performance, and greater life satisfaction. Tune in to learn how to spot the signs of emotional insobriety and start your journey towards a healthier emotional life.
