I think I'm always hoping that more, that more, more ideas will be forthcoming.
Two decades after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, psychotherapists Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger sit down to reflect on how emotional sobriety has played a crucial role in their healing journey. This episode isn't just a look back at a dark day in history; it's an exploration of how we can all find strength and resilience in the face of unimaginable loss and fear. Thom and Dr.
Berger discuss the dangers of total polarization and emphasize the importance of identifying and letting go of unhealthy demands, a concept rooted in Bill Wilson's idea of emotional sobriety. They dive into the complexities of the mind, tackling problems that exist within oneself and how these internal battles affect our relationships with others. The hosts also highlight the value of staying connected with others in recovery, embracing fear, and transforming it into a source of strength.
Throughout the conversation, they offer a compelling perspective on finding hope and better angels during times of crisis. For those looking to delve deeper into these topics, Thom and Dr. Berger invite listeners to join their Thursday night Zoom meetings on Emotional Sobriety and the Steps, fostering a supportive community for ongoing recovery. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that even in our darkest moments, emotional sobriety can guide us towards healing and connection.
