Embracing Compulsions: Mary O'Malley's Journey to Joyful Sobriety

When those two skills - curiosity and compassion - they came together in me, I began to bring that to my compulsions rather than seeing them as the enemy that it was something I had to control, and I was a bad person because I couldn't control them.

In this episode of 'Progressive Recovery', Ronald Chapman sits down with Mary O'Malley, an author, teacher, and counselor who has a unique take on dealing with compulsions.
