"Each time you fail, you're literally gaining experience, which means you will probably be the person who solves the problem"
Ever felt like a new job, relationship, or hobby was the answer to all your problems? In this episode of Levelheaded Talk, Dr. Andrea Vitz dives into the concept of novelty and how it can derail your emotional sobriety training. Dr. Vitz explains that while new circumstances can temporarily soothe your suffering, they often prevent you from truly addressing the underlying issues. She shares personal anecdotes about her own failures and how flaunting them has become a powerful teaching tool.
Dr. Vitz argues that the initial euphoria of a new relationship or job can create an illusion of improvement, but without addressing the core issues, you’re likely to find yourself back in the same situation. The episode is a candid exploration of why we get off track and how to recognise these patterns in our lives. With a mix of humour and heartfelt advice, Dr. Vitz offers practical tips for staying on course in your journey towards emotional sobriety.
If you're looking for ways to maintain focus and truly transform your life, this episode is a must-listen.
