Emotional sobriety, a phrase frequently used in AA meetings, holds a special place in my heart. 

It's not just a phrase; it's a state of being – a state where clarity reigns, where nothing muddles your thoughts or numbs your senses.

In this state of clarity, you're fully present, unburdened by the weight of your fears or any substances that might dim your light. It's in this space that your relationships can truly flourish.

Whether wrestling with substance abuse or not, having an insecure emotional attachment style can be similar to an addiction. When triggered, your brain goes into a fog, much like when substances take hold.

In those triggered moments, one force in your subconscious steps into the limelight while the other is pushed into the shadows.

To fully express your unique, authentic self, you need both forces in harmony. 

And that's precisely what this episode is about – finding that balance so you can journey towards emotional sobriety and enjoy the full potential of your relationships.

What I mention in this episode:

• Why I like the phrase emotional sobriety
• The two forces present in our subconscious to become a balanced person
• The shadow side of the inner child and the inner parent

What you'll learn from it:

• Which internal force is more prevalent depending on your attachment style
• How to start dealing with these internal forces when triggered
• A proposal that can help you start changing your reactions
