What we know to be true about emotional sobriety, I think, is: people have been listening to us and we've been talking. Maybe there will be a time in my life, all right.
Imagine seeing failure not as a setback but as a stepping stone to emotional growth. In this episode of 'Emotional Sobriety', psychotherapists Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger tackle the often daunting topic of failure and disappointment. They argue that our emotional dependency and the habit of framing our experiences with unrealistic expectations are significant hurdles on the path to true recovery. Instead of casting ourselves in a negative light when things go wrong, Thom and Dr.
Berger suggest embracing these moments as essential parts of a fully lived life. They delve into the importance of acceptance—the first step towards change—and discuss how wanting to alter the past can be a form of arrogance. With their compassionate and insightful approach, they encourage listeners to challenge old beliefs and reframe failure in a new light.
This episode is a treasure trove for anyone on a recovery journey or those striving for emotional balance, offering practical advice and deep reflections on embracing both the highs and lows of life.
