In this installment of The Way Out we have an ultra-informative and super-instructive interview with person in long term recovery and Author of the new, and folks I don’t say this often, absolute must-read book - 50 Ways to Worry Less Now - Gigi Langer. Gigi shares with us her journey to and through recovery and what she’s learned up to this point in 35 years of sobriety including many of the recovery, spiritual, energy, and cognitive tools that can put an end to the pernicious worry, anxiety and ultimately fear that dogs so many of us prior to, and even in sobriety. Without question one of the overriding and compelling elements arising out of Gigi’s story is the series of reckonings and recoveries that occur throughout her recovery journey, starting with addiction and alcoholism, all the way through codependency and being an adult child of an alcoholic. Equally as fascinating is the phenomenon and experience of being an a Highly Sensitive Person, first identified by Dr. Elaine Aron and how profoundly important it was for her to understand and accept this about herself and then undergo a process of learning, acquiring, and applying an assortment of tools to bring about a transformative recovery rooted in the 12-Steps and a Higher Power. There’s so much spiritual truth and recovery tools in this here interview so you might just have to play this one twice but whatever you, do make sure you listen up. 50 Ways to Worry Less Now: Reject Negative Thinking to Find Peace, Clarity, and Connection https://gigilanger.com/ Other Books and Resources Recommended by Gigi Langer: Pema Chodron: https://pemachodronfoundation.org/product-category/books/ Dr. Kristin Neff: https://self-compassion.org/ A Course in Miracles: https://acim.org/ Emmet Fox: https://www.unity.org/sites/unity.org/files/files/Free-Materials/2018/Exerpt-GoldenKey-booklet.pdf http://www.metaphysicspirit.com/books/The%20Sermon%20on%20the%20Mount.pdf The Shack: http://wmpaulyoung.com/the-shack/ Highly Sensitive Person (Elaine Aron): https://hsperson.com/ Copyright: (c) 2015-2021 The Way Out Podcast | All Rights Reserved Theme Music: “all clear” (https://ketsa.uk/browse-music/) by Ketsa (https://ketsa.uk) licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0(https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).
