America needs to step away from these cults, and AA is one of them, whether you think it's a cult or not.
Ever wondered how certain groups have shaped American culture? Monica Richardson dives deep into this question in an eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery'. She takes a close look at the rise of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Scientology, and EST during the late 60s and mid-70s, examining their similarities and the impact they've had on society. These groups, often labeled as cults, have more in common than you might think, including their ties to the Human Potential Movement.
Monica doesn’t shy away from controversial topics. She exposes how deeply AA is embedded in our culture and legal system, raising questions about its influence on mental health professionals. But it’s not all critique; Monica also explores alternative healing methods that promote empowerment rather than powerlessness. Smart Recovery, for instance, is highlighted as a viable alternative to AA.
If you’re curious about how these organizations have influenced American society or are seeking new approaches to recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to gain fresh perspectives and perhaps find a path that resonates with you.
