Living in the Now: Emotional Sobriety with Allen Berger and Thom Rutledge

For now we could ask ourselves what keeps us from the now, what keeps us from living in the now in a healthy way, right, instead of in what we used to call a neurotic way.
Ever wondered how living in the moment can transform your recovery journey? In this episode, psychotherapists and best-selling authors Allen Berger and Thom Rutledge dive into the crucial practice of being present and its role in achieving emotional sobriety. They share their wisdom on how staying in the now can help us connect deeply with ourselves and others, experience life fully, and handle challenges more effectively. But let's face it, staying present is often easier said than done.
Our inner critic, ego, and fear of vulnerability can all act as barriers. Allen and Thom offer practical tips on overcoming these obstacles, emphasizing the importance of humility and self-criticism in personal growth. Drawing from Bill Wilson's teachings and their own experiences, they provide valuable insights into the recovery process. They discuss how letting go of perfectionism and embracing our flaws can free us from negative self-talk and old patterns.
Throughout the episode, they stress the importance of empathy, active listening, and ongoing personal development. If you're curious about how emotional sobriety can lead to a more fulfilling life, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about abstaining from substances; it's about finding wholeness and connection. Tune in to learn how to cultivate present-moment awareness and start your journey toward emotional sobriety.
