Just some reminders for the Hollerdays. • Holidays are magnifying glasses: what is good is wonderful and what is bad… really sucks. • Visiting family for the holidays can be considered therapy fieldwork. • If the time seems too short or too long, remember each day is still just 24 hours. Enjoy your endure one day at a time. #holiday #holidayreminder #hollerdays #recovery #emotionalsobriety #emotionalsobrietypodcast #thomrutledge #allenbergerphd #selfhelpbooks #selfhelp #berealistic #dysfunctionalfamily #magnified #selfcare #peace

I heard from the father of one of my clients that, while visiting his daughter over July 4th holiday, he “accidentally” read The Greater Possibilities. More testimony that this is the self-helpful book for people who don’t read self-help books. #recovery #thomrutledge #thomrutledgebooks #thegreaterpossibilities #success #successquotes #emotionalsobriety #emotionalsobrietypodcast
Back at my office 2 days a week now. Clients are glad to see that everything is still here. #recovery #psychotherapy #shrinkscouch #emotionalsobriety #podcast #emotionalsobrietypodcast
