We've got to deal with this side of us, and unless we do, there's going to be no real peace of mind.
After attending his brother's funeral, Thom Rutledge opens up about how emotional sobriety has shaped his personal growth after a 23-year family separation. In this heartfelt episode of 'Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery', Thom and Dr. Allen Berger revisit their earlier discussions on marriage and relationships. They explore how these 'people growers' test our ability to be self-governing rather than falling into unhealthy dependency on our partners.
The conversation dives deep into maintaining balance in relationships, emphasizing the importance of keeping them horizontal and fostering individual self-governance. The hosts also touch on the benefits of inner child work and the pivotal role sponsors and accountability play in the recovery journey. Reflecting on love's transformative power, they highlight how sharing personal stories can build community and connection.
This episode offers a blend of personal anecdotes and broader insights, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of emotional sobriety.
