The Recovery Experts Recommend CBT Therapy
When someone is working toward getting sober their main focus is maintaining a program of recovery and staying sober. But after years of using and drinking they come to realize that they have been stuffing their feelings, and are detached from their emotions-and without the drugs and alcohol their feelings and emotions are suddenly all over the map. One negative encounter and it’s a sensory overload. Early sobriety can be a time of puzzling emotional responses and the real and dangerous consequence is usually relapsing. For the recovering addict and alcoholic learning to address, live with, and regulate their emotions is crucial-and that’s where emotional sobriety comes into play. "ONE of the cornerstones of alcoholism recovery is a concept called emotional sobriety," states scientific journalist Wray Herbert. "The idea is that alcoholics and other addicts hoping to stay sober over the long haul must learn to regulate the negative feelings that can lead to discomfort, craving and-ultimately-relapse.

The reality is that life’s ups and downs are not going to go away just because a person gets sober. With emotional sobriety the recovering addict and alcoholic works toward acknowledging this. Finding this acceptance gives them the ability to deal with their feelings in a positive and healthy manner. "I’ve often referred to emotional sobriety as the missing link in achieving full addiction recovery-or what I like to call optimal recovery," writes Dr. Allen Berger. "When our emotions are out of control, so is our thinking," writes Dr. Tian Dayton, "and when we can’t bring our feeling and thinking into some sort of balance, our life and our relationships feel out of balance too. So of course the big question is how does one achieve this emotional sobriety. The recovery experts recommend CBT therapy, learning and practicing recovery skills such as conflict resolution, attending support groups, and not using.

Psych is an American detective comedy-drama television series created by Steve Franks for USA Network. The program also stars Dulé Hill as Shawn's intelligent best friend and reluctant partner Burton "Gus" Guster, as well as Corbin Bernsen as Shawn's father, Henry, a former detective with the Santa Barbara Police Department. Psych premiered on July 7, 2006, following the fifth-season premiere of Monk, and continued to be paired with the series until Monk's conclusion on December 4, 2009. During the second season, an animated segment titled "The Big Adventures of Little Shawn and Gus" was added to the series. USA Network renewed the series for an eighth season on December 19, 2012, to include eight episodes, and ordered two more episodes on June 25, 2013, bringing the episode order to ten. Franks' hope is to make five more Psych movies, following Psych: The Movie. On February 14, 2019, it was announced Psych: The Movie 2 was greenlit and all the main cast would return for the TV film, which was set to premiere in late 2019, but the premiere thereof was subsequently delayed to 2020, with the film renamed Psych 2: Lassie Come Home.
The film was released on NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock, July 15, 2020, the day the service officially launched. Most episodes begin with a cold open in the form of a flashback to Shawn and ozma.one Gus's childhoods. The flashbacks usually involve Shawn and Gus being taught a lesson by a young Henry Spencer (Shawn's father) (Corbin Bernsen), who wishes that his son would follow in his footsteps and become a law enforcement officer. These lessons often play a role for the climax of the episode. As a child, Shawn was taught by Henry to hone his powers of observation and deduction, often using games and challenges to test him. Each flashback also sets the theme for the episode. Shawn originally becomes known as a psychic when, after calling in tips on dozens of crimes covered on the news which help the police to close the case, the police become suspicious of his knowledge, theorizing that such knowledge could only come from the "inside" and unwilling to believe that it is merely Shawn having honed his observational skills.
