Healing Through Spiritual Psychology: Beverly Sartain's Journey
For me, I'm trying to really put it out there that sobriety does not equal recovery, recovery does not equal sobriety.
What if the key to overcoming trauma lies in a holistic approach that combines mind, body, and spirit? In this episode of Recovery Hour Rewind, Lori Windfeldt chats with Beverly Sartain, a spiritual psychologist and author of the best-selling book 'Transcending Trauma: How I Used Spiritual Psychology to Heal My Life'. Beverly’s story is a powerful testament to resilience and transformation.
From struggling with substance abuse to becoming a substance abuse counselor, she has turned her personal battles into a beacon of hope for others. Beverly shares her unique approach to recovery, emphasizing that it’s not just about sobriety but about creating a healthy connection with oneself. She dives into the concept of spiritual psychology and explains how it can be a game-changer for those dealing with unresolved trauma.
The conversation covers the four dimensions of holistic healing—mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical—and why the term 'spiritual' can sometimes be intimidating, suggesting 'connection' as a more comforting alternative. Who should tune in? Anyone who has faced childhood trauma, those looking for a fresh perspective on recovery beyond traditional 12-step programs, and anyone interested in holistic healing methods. Lori and Beverly’s discussion is filled with practical insights and heartfelt moments, making it an inspiring listen for anyone on their recovery journey.
