Dr. Berger and Herb K. are two of the foremost authorities on emotional sobriety and optimal recovery. In this program, which was recorded live in Newhall (Santa Clarita) in August of 2019, these two pioneers talk about Emotional Sobriety as the missing link in recovery, and to learn to cope with life on life’s terms.
During this day long workshop they will unpack origins of emotional sobriety, and center on a key concept. At some point in our life we generate this idea of what life is supposed to be, what it’s supposed to look like, how people are supposed to behave towards me, and how I behave towards others. Dr. Berger and Herb K. dig into the making of those expectation in our formative years. They ask attendees to imagine a future that looks different, and workshop how to achieve it. This profound change is called emotional sobriety.
