"Addiction is not having the power of choice."
Ever found yourself in a tricky relationship and wondered why you just can't walk away? Dr. Andrea Vitz, alongside Jon Leon Guerrero, tackles this conundrum in the 'Levelheaded Talk' episode titled 'It Just Takes Training'. The duo dives into emotional sobriety, a concept that promises to transform how we handle relationships and addictions. Dr. Vitz argues that many of us are stuck in unhealthy situations due to a lack of training and deeply ingrained beliefs.
You might think you need a particular person or job to survive, but what if that's just an excuse? Dr. Vitz challenges you to imagine a world where you don't rely on these crutches. It's not about abandoning relationships; it's about understanding why you cling to them. Through playful exercises, she encourages listeners to confront their beliefs and ask, "What if that weren't true?"
Dr. Vitz's approach isn't about blame or fault-finding.
Instead, she emphasises that empowerment comes from recognising your potential and addressing emotional addictions. She likens the process to survival training – when faced with a bear at your door, your response depends on your preparation. In relationships, without emotional training, you'll default to past behaviours, whether they come from family or TV dramas. The key takeaway? You can remodel your emotions and behaviours for healthier connections. Dr.
Vitz shares her personal journey from being easily pushed over to becoming emotionally fluent, highlighting that change is possible with the right guidance. So, whether you're struggling with an abusive partner or feeling trapped in a job, this episode offers insights into finding freedom through training and self-awareness. Are you ready to explore the power of emotional sobriety and transform your life?
