Understanding AA's Step One with a Jungian Twist

How do you move from hopelessness to hope and then ultimately to transformation? And to me, that is the journey through the steps and the journey through life.
Ever wondered how psychology and spirituality intersect in addiction recovery? In this episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest who has been sober since 1972, teams up with Dr. Ian McCabe to break down Step One of Alcoholics Anonymous. They dive into the physical, mental, and spiritual dynamics that come into play when battling addiction. Drawing on Carl Jung's theories and Erickson's stages of development, they explore how understanding these concepts can offer hope and transformation.
This episode is packed with insights that make the often-daunting first step of AA feel more approachable and meaningful. Plus, there's a fascinating discussion on the lost 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer and the power of morning meditation. If you're curious about how to deepen your spiritual practice while navigating the early stages of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
