Unmasking Your True Self: The Path to Emotional Sobriety
Your job is to be the parent to that thing, to guard it, to teach it, to force maturity upon it. That is your job, that is your duty, and I am so here to guide you through it.
Ever caught yourself wondering who you really are beneath all the layers? In this episode of 'Levelheaded Talk', Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero dive into the heart of emotional sobriety and the journey of self-discovery. They tackle the challenge many face: being so tied to their 'intoxicated identities' that they lose sight of their true selves. But don’t worry, there's a way out.
By asking the right questions and reflecting on your behaviors, you can start peeling back those layers to reveal the real you. Dr. Vitz highlights how childhood trauma often shapes our internal dialogue and emphasizes the importance of earning the trust of the part of ourselves that holds us back. She explains that it’s like parenting yourself—guiding, guarding, and teaching that inner child to grow and mature.
This isn't a quick fix; it takes time, effort, and a genuine desire for change. However, the rewards—a more authentic and fulfilling life—are absolutely worth it. Tune in to hear more about this transformative process and start your journey toward emotional sobriety today.
