92 Sobriety While AuDHD + Gifted with Amy Knott Parrish
Manage episode 474029115 series 3589740
Thank you to guest Amy Knott Parrish for sharing about her unusual journey with sobriety. When she realized what her future was going to look like, she... stopped drinking. Because it wasn't about the drinking, it was about the problem that the drinking was self-medicating.
After nine years of continuous sobriety, her therapist insisted that she try AA, but it wasn't the right fit.
As with many institutions, it wasn't built for her!
The giftedness/intensity piece adds another layer—we talk about how we sometimes just need the psychoeducation on certain topics, not necessarily the emotional excavation approach. (I could talk about that for hours.)
