If I'm supporting myself, I'm able to state my conviction and my belief calmly, without attacking the belief of others and without defending myself.
Imagine navigating life's ups and downs while holding onto your emotional well-being. This episode of 'Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery' dives into the crucial topic of self-support versus environmental support in recovery. Hosts Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger, along with guest Patrick, share personal stories and professional insights on how to maintain independence while being present in relationships. They tackle the tricky balance of staying true to oneself without losing connection with others.
Ever wondered why we sometimes try to control situations or people? The hosts explore how these unconscious behaviors are often misguided attempts to feel okay. They also discuss how trauma can lead to co-dependence, making it harder to support ourselves emotionally. A key takeaway from this episode is the idea of 'parsing'—processing past grievances and resentments to move forward.
Thom Rutledge's powerful quote, 'If I'm supporting myself, I'm able to state my conviction and my belief calmly, without attacking the belief of others and without defending myself', captures the essence of self-support in emotional sobriety. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their emotional resilience and independence. Tune in to gain practical tips and heartfelt guidance on your journey to becoming the best version of yourself.
