Breaking Free from 'Stinking Thinking' with Father Richard Rohr

So what the step programs call stinking thinking I would call compulsive thinking, and I would say most thinking is compulsive most... Any good teacher will help you to recognize it and to find some kind of practice for letting go of it, detaching from it.
Ever find yourself trapped in negative thought patterns? In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Father Richard Rohr, a renowned author and speaker, to tackle the concept of 'stinking thinking'. This term refers to the self-defeating thoughts that keep us stuck in fear and conflict, often exacerbating addiction issues.
Father Rohr brings his wisdom from years of spiritual teaching to discuss how we can detach from these harmful thought cycles and live more meaningful lives. Father Rohr shares how our deepest addiction is often to our own defensive patterns of thinking and living. He delves into the importance of contemplation and the role of good teachers in guiding us to recognize and release these patterns.
The conversation also touches on the evolution of consciousness and culture, providing a broader context for understanding our personal struggles. Listeners will find practical advice on how to break free from compulsive thinking and embrace a more spiritually fulfilling life. Whether you're on a recovery journey yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in spiritual growth, this episode offers valuable insights.
Tune in to hear Father Rohr's unique perspective and learn how to overcome 'stinking thinking' for a healthier, happier life.
