Emotional sobriety was first introduced by Bill Wilson back in 1950. He hoped that this would spearhead the next major development in recovery. For various reasons, emotional sobriety never achieved this recognition – until now. We have discovered that emotional sobriety is the key to full or optimal recovery.
In this powerful presentation, Dr. Berger unpacks Bill’s Grapevine Article, “Emotional Sobriety: The Next Frontier.” He will elaborate on the concepts that Bill addressed by relating them to the work of master psychotherapists like Virginia Satir, Fritz Perls, Victor Frankl, Karen Horney, Rollo May and Eric Fromm. The goal of emotional sobriety is emotional freedom. Dr. Berger will explore how we lose our emotional autonomy and what we can do to recover it.
Dr. Berger is considered one of the leading experts on emotional sobriety. He brings a unique blend of over 54 years of personal recovery and over five decades of clinical experience. His current book 12 Essential Insights for Emotional Sobriety is considered a seminal contribution of our understanding of this important concept.
