So This Is Love, the podcast | Season 3, Episode 3 - "Emotional Intelligence led me to sobriety": A conversation with Patsy Berridge
EPISODE SUMMARY
Emotional intelligence - and it’s impact on our resiliency, healing, and thriving - has become an increasingly hot topic in personal development, success, and therapy. How we identify, process, and respond to our emotions impacts everything from our self-relationship, relationships with others, career, and ultimately the kind of life we live.
In this episode of So This Is Love, the podcast, I have powerful conversation with Patsy Berridge, who shares her journey into sobriety after a childhood full of competition, and losing her brother from suicide. Patsy explains how being a highly sensitive person who had no knowledge or developed skills about emotional regulation, led her to use alcohol beginning at the age of 12 to cope with her feelings.
We talk:
· What is emotional intelligence?
· How to become an ‘observer’ of your emotions
· How to calm and regulate your emotions and body
· Top pieces of wisdom to start and continue on a growth journey into emotional intelligence
· What really worked for Patsy on her path to sobriety and emotional intelligence

Steps on how to understand and regulate your emotions, rather than react and go down a spiral of emotional turmoil
