Therapy’s Role in Sobriety: A Chat with Amanda E. White
I asked about what your drinking habits are, and what I really started to see too was how many people are left out from the conversation of exploring their relationship with alcohol because they feel like they aren't an alcoholic, or they don't drink every day or they don't have a problem.
Ever wondered how therapy can shape your sobriety journey? Mike and Glenn bring Amanda E. White, author of 'Not Drinking Tonight' and the voice behind Therapy for Women, to the Sober.Coffee Shop for a heartfelt conversation. Amanda opens up about her personal path to sobriety, shedding light on the transformative power of therapy. She emphasizes the importance of honesty and how it helps unravel one's relationship with alcohol.
They dive into her guidebook, which isn't just for alcoholics but for anyone curious about their drinking habits. Amanda also shares practical tips on journaling as a form of self-care and making sobriety look appealing. The episode wraps up with Carolyn Dooner's endorsement, noting that Amanda's book is beneficial for everyone, regardless of their drinking status. This episode offers a blend of personal stories, practical advice, and a fresh perspective on therapy's role in sobriety.
