Can you be intimate with all you are? There’s a saying, in Alcoholics Anonymous, that we’re only as sick as our secrets.

In this compelling episode of 'Integral Recovery', the hosts sit down with Robert Augustus Masters, Ph.D., a leading expert in shadow work, to discuss the transformative power of facing our hidden struggles head-on. The conversation dives into the heart of addiction recovery, emphasizing the importance of exploring the unconscious mind and addressing the shame and societal pressures that often accompany addiction.
Masters brings to light the idea that addiction is not just a physical or mental issue but a spiritual crisis that requires a holistic approach for healing. He advocates for self-compassion and self-forgiveness as pivotal steps in the recovery journey. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how turning towards our pain can lead to profound growth and long-term sobriety.
Whether you’re battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps for navigating the complex path of recovery. Tune in to hear Masters' unique approach and discover how embracing your shadow can pave the way for a healthier, more authentic life.
