Beverly Sartain: Healing Trauma with Spiritual Psychology
Recovery does not equal sobriety. So to hear you talk about that is it's just comforting, because I know that the more we educate people about that- and, frankly, my counselor, at the time when I decided to get help for alcohol use, it was very clear to my counselor that the insurance company was sending me to the wrong place because they wanted me to go to a detox center.
Ever wondered if there's a different way to approach recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Hour', host Lori Windfeldt chats with Beverly Sartain, a 14-year sober trailblazer who turned her life around using spiritual psychology. Beverly’s journey from substance abuser to substance abuse counselor is nothing short of inspiring.
She shares how she transformed her struggles into a message of hope and healing, and how her best-selling book, 'Transcending Trauma: How I Used Spiritual Psychology to Heal My Life', came to be. Lori and Beverly dive deep into the concept of spiritual psychology and holistic coaching, breaking down the four dimensions of holistic healing: mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical.
They discuss why the term 'spiritual' can be challenging for some, and how substituting it with 'connection' can make a big difference. Whether you've experienced childhood trauma or are seeking a unique approach to recovery, Beverly’s insights offer something valuable for everyone. The episode also touches on practical tips for self-care and building a successful coaching business. And for a fun twist, they bond over their love for 'The Matrix' and the character Morpheus.
Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends humor, wisdom, and actionable advice, leaving you with the belief that recovery is not just possible but achievable with the right tools and mindset.
