How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This episode of Levelheaded Talk takes a closer look at the dynamics of romantic relationships through the lens of emotional sobriety. Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero engage in a candid conversation about self-responsibility and self-awareness in relationships. They challenge listeners to reflect on their roles in their partnerships, urging them to focus on their own behaviours rather than blaming their partners for any discord. Dr.
Vitz encourages the audience to spend a week observing their own actions and thoughts, rather than fixating on their partner's perceived faults. This introspective approach can lead to significant personal growth and improved relationships. By examining questions like "Who am I being in this relationship?" and "Am I being defensive?", individuals can gain valuable insights into their behaviours and begin to make positive changes.
The episode highlights two different dynamics within relationships: when both partners embark on the journey of emotional sobriety together, and when one partner begins this journey independently. Both scenarios offer unique challenges and opportunities for growth, but ultimately underscore the importance of self-examination. Listeners are invited to explore how self-trust and mutual trust can evolve when they stop playing the blame game and start focusing on personal change.
With a mix of humour and sincerity, this episode offers practical advice for anyone looking to improve their romantic relationships through emotional sobriety. Ready to take a closer look at your own role in your relationship?
