Jamie Paige: Rethinking Progress and Emotional Sobriety
Obsessions lead to compulsions to distract my attention from my culpability, because I'm treating the symptom rather than the disease, and the mental obsession is the primary motivator for all reactive, impulsive and compulsive behaviors.
What if the way we think about progress is actually holding us back? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Mental Obsession Discussion / Emotional Sobriety', Jamie Paige dives deep into the importance of progressive thinking and emotional sobriety. She challenges the idea that worsening conditions can be justified as progress, highlighting how our collective mindset might be more of a problem than we realize.
Jamie argues that the homeless crisis is a symptom of our 'polluted thinking' and that addressing the root causes of addiction requires a shift in how we approach mental health and societal issues. Instead of just treating symptoms, she emphasizes the need for honest communication and healthy thinking to create real change. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone interested in understanding the deeper connections between our thoughts and the world around us.
