When we can become aware of how our innate drive toward wholeness has actually been a part of developing our coping mechanisms, we are free to discover new (and much improved) possibilities.
Imagine discovering that the very coping mechanisms you've developed over the years are rooted in an honest, innate drive toward wholeness. In this engaging episode of 'Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery', psychotherapists Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger take you on a journey through the concept of emotional dependency. They discuss how acknowledging these dependencies with self-compassion can open doors to new, healthier possibilities. By embracing the paradoxical theory of change, Thom and Dr.
Berger explain how owning our emotional dependencies can lead to profound personal growth. This conversation is not just about identifying problems but about understanding them as part of a natural process toward emotional resilience. The episode wraps up with an invitation to join their supportive Thursday night Zoom meetings on Emotional Sobriety and the Steps, offering a community space for continued learning and connection.
Whether you're in recovery or simply seeking a deeper understanding of your emotional landscape, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice for anyone on the path to emotional well-being.
