Show Notes

Beginning discussion of Chapter 6 of Dr. Berger's Essential Insights for Emotional Sobriety. Focus is on what it means and how we are impacted when we take things other people say to us personally, and how, with "large doses of curiosity," we can change our ways of thinking so that we increase/improve our self-awareness -- resulting in the freedom a daily practice of emotional sobriety can deliver.
