What Others Are Saying....

Emotions are the key to the Law of Attraction. When our emotions are in balance, we attract and create more of those experiences we want and fewer of the ones we don't want. We live from a better place. Balancing your feelings can help you to balance your life..and this book can help you to do both!

In Emotional Sobriety, Dr. Tian Dayton explains in helpful detail how our hearts, minds and spirits are wounded and what they need to recover. She describes neuroscience in lay terms so clinicians, recovering people and families are able to understand how and why our inner selves struggle to find balance and peace. Her understanding of the connections between mind, body, heart and spirit are what have been needed in the recovery field for a long time. We now have scientific evidence as to why "recovery" works. This is a masterful piece of work.

When I wrote "Another Chance", and introduced the roles within the addicted family system we were in the beginning stages of truly understanding the devastating affect that addiction and other serious forms of dysfunction had on the entire family system. What we were looking at was emotional imbalance that led to both personal and familial imbalance. Today, neuroscience is "proving" that the mind/body treatment approaches that we have been taking for the last three decades are indeed evidence based.

Bill W., co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935, took 18 years to realize the importance of our emotions for a total and balanced recovery. He wrote in an article entitled The Next Frontier: Emotional Sobriety that once he addressed this aspect of his life, he was given a quiet place in bright sunshine. He had no scientific basis for this. As the founding medical director at the Betty Ford Center, I taught that our emotions are our sixth sense and must be given great credence in our decisions. I had no basis for this. Cellular memory studies and the field of psycho-neuro-immunology are providing the basis for many of our metaphors regarding the heart and our emotions. Dr Dayton has proven once again she can interpret, apply and lovingly teach new knowledge to us in an understandable way. These are attributes of the great teacher she is.

When primary caregivers consistently allow a child to be over-stimulated or grossly under-stimulated, as can be the case in homes where relationship trauma is present, the child may not learn how to develop an affective range. Instead of being able to regulate emotions, these individuals may bounce from one emotional extreme to another.

In Emotional Sobriety, Dr. Dayton outlines the neurobiology and neuropsychology of this emotional imbalance and with compassion and beautiful clarity outlines the steps one can chose to achieve resilience and healthy self-soothing. Emotional Sobriety-a beautiful creation from a very beautiful person.
