Awareness of what you are doing to yourself, awareness of how you sabotage yourself starts the process of change.
Recovery is a winding road filled with both triumphs and setbacks. In this episode of 'The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast', Lynn Matti draws from the wisdom of Allen Berger Ph.D., a leading voice in the science of recovery. Berger, known for his influential books like '12 Stupid Things That Mess Up Recovery' and '12 Smart Things to Do When the Booze and Drugs Are Gone', provides a roadmap for avoiding common mistakes that can derail your progress.

Lynn doesn't just list these pitfalls; she dives into each one, explaining how they manifest and what you can do to sidestep them. One of the standout points in this episode is the focus on emotional growth. Recovery isn't just about abstaining from substances; it's about evolving emotionally and mentally. Lynn emphasizes that self-awareness and emotional maturity are crucial for long-term success.
She shares stories from her own practice as a clinical mental health therapist, making the advice relatable and actionable. If you're on a journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights. Lynn's engaging style and genuine empathy make complex topics accessible, turning them into practical steps you can take today.
