Spotting Emotional Insobriety: Guidance from Levelheaded Talk
Initially it's just getting over the need to have to fix them instantly and just continue to be a point of inspiration.
Have you ever noticed someone struggling with emotional insobriety and wondered how to help? In this episode of 'Levelheaded Talk', hosts Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero tackle this very issue. They start by discussing the common tendency to diagnose others' emotional struggles, especially when we're on our own journey towards emotional sobriety. However, they caution against the urge to fix others immediately. Instead, they recommend leading by example, sharing your own breakthroughs, and always checking your motives. Dr.
Vitz and Jon emphasize the importance of demonstrating the benefits of emotional sobriety through your actions rather than telling others they need it too. They also delve into how emotional sobriety training can sometimes be misused, turning into a tool for judgment rather than growth. Their advice? Focus on your own journey and be genuine in your interactions. When someone asks about your path to emotional sobriety, they suggest being honest and sensitive.
If asked whether they need it, respond truthfully but with care. The hosts stress that love should always be at the forefront, avoiding the pitfalls of spiritual pride—thinking you're better than others because of your progress. They remind us that feeling superior is a sign of emotional insobriety itself. Dr. Vitz and Jon wrap up the episode by encouraging listeners to join the community and continue working on themselves.
This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone looking to support others while staying true to their own emotional sobriety journey.
