In this episode of Levelheaded Talk, Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero tackle the concept of 'getting over yourself' in various scenarios, especially in romantic relationships. Dr. Vitz shares practical advice on how to rise above your immediate emotional reactions by visualising yourself from a higher perspective. Imagine floating above your own head like a drone, observing your behaviours and emotions without getting caught up in them.
This technique helps you identify your motives and emotional triggers, allowing you to address them more effectively. The episode is packed with relatable examples and humorous anecdotes, making it both engaging and insightful. Dr. Vitz emphasises the importance of empathy in relationships, explaining that self-centred motives often hinder genuine connection. By focusing less on yourself and more on understanding your partner, you can foster a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
The discussion also touches on the broader theme of emotional sobriety, offering valuable tools for anyone looking to improve their emotional intelligence and self-awareness. Whether you're struggling with addiction or simply aiming for better relationships, this episode provides actionable steps to help you achieve greater emotional balance and satisfaction.
