Today my guest is Allen Berger, Licensed Clinical Therapist, and Podcast co-host of “Start Here: Conversations about what matters most”. He’s also published several books including:   “12 Stupid Things That Mess Up Recovery: Avoiding Relapse through Self Awareness and Right Action” and “12 Essential Insights for emotional sobriety: Getting Your Recovery Unstuck”   Dr Berger was able to break down ideas around the paradox of accepting powerlessness in order to transcend it, overcoming resistance to doing recovery work and so much more.   There were so many lightbulb moments in this episode, I can’t wait for you to hear it!   Before we jump in, I wanted to share with you that there’s a free resource guide available at SoberLifeSchool.com It’s called “100 Resources for your first 100 Days”. It’s a list of the books that have completely expanded my mindset, healed deep emotional pain, and provided context and perspective that have brought me so much self awareness and peace of mind. I also included a list of about 35 recovery podcasts, and facebook sober groups. I think it’s critical that those of us that are on this path of healing that we educate ourselves and connect with others. There are so many facets to recovery that it’s important to hear stories from others that are just like us and hear how they have overcome typical challenges. So grab your copy today at soberlifeschool.com and let me know which resources resonate with you the most!   So that’s all from me!  Please enjoy the episode with Dr Allen Berger.   Be sure to follow me on Instagram for daily inspiration: @odaatpodcast and @arlinaallen   Connect with here: Visit Website: https://abphd.com/ Follow on Instagram @   Watch on YouTube: ​​https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNuRolkOZ7X8fCEFCDYd5tg Subscribe So You Don’t Miss New Episodes!   Listen On:   https://apple.co/30g6ALF   https://odaatchat.libsyn.com/spotify   https://bit.ly/3n0taNQ     Watch Full Episodes!   https://bit.ly/2UpR5Lo
