In this episode of 'Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery', hosts Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger are joined by Joe C. to delve into the deeper aspects of emotional sobriety. The conversation centres around the idea of looking beyond what people say to understand their experiences, and how to model emotional sobriety in various environments - even those lacking it.
Thom, Allen, and Joe share personal anecdotes, such as Joe's experience during a hurricane and how it allowed him to connect with others without fear. They also discuss the importance of creating an atmosphere that encourages vulnerability and openness, rather than demanding authenticity. The episode explores how emotional sobriety can be practised in everyday life, especially in situations where it is least present.
You'll hear about the challenges of maintaining emotional sobriety, the concept of multiple consciousnesses within a person, and the role of community in overcoming isolation. With a mix of humour and heartfelt moments, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone on a journey of recovery or supporting someone who is.
