E302: Feeling Like a Normal Person Again After 8-10 Months


Listen Later

A lot of clients will tell me that they feel like a normal person again. This isn’t a random occurrence, there are 4 very real changes that are happening to the brain during the healing process that allow you to feel normal eventually. In this episode I’ll describe this milestone and 4 changes that make it possible.

If you enjoy learning about timelines, then there is a detailed timeline of healing and what to expect inside my community or as a client resource.

What to listen to next:

E300: how problem drinking develops and escalates

E296: the science of why we drink

E295: the feeling of lost time

E289: emotional tunnel vision: when little problems are a big deal

E283: alcohol shortens your perception of time
