Beyond the 12 Steps: Charlotte Kasl's Inclusive Recovery Journey
Her inclusive way of approaching addiction recovery is both tolerant and expansive which is built into the 16 steps she had spent years developing.
Charlotte Kasl's approach to addiction recovery isn't your typical 12-step program. In this episode of Spiritual Bizarre's Podcast, she dives into her book 'Many Roads, One Journey: Moving Beyond the 12 Steps', where she introduces her unique 16-step model. This isn't just for the mainstream; it's designed to be inclusive, embracing women, pagans, LGBTQ individuals, and anyone else on the path to recovery.
Kasl's years of counseling women revealed that many had faced sexual or physical abuse, stripping away their sense of empowerment. She also sheds light on the often-overlooked issue of men being victims of abuse by older women. Her insights challenge some outdated aspects of traditional recovery programs, advocating for a more creative and supportive approach to spiritual growth and sobriety.
Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Kasl's compassionate and expansive perspective offers valuable tools and hope for healing.
