Can writing be a path to healing? In this episode, Dr. James Ryan, PhD, dives into the profound connection between writing and recovery. He introduces listeners to his new book, 'Recovery Writing', and guides them through exercises designed to unlock deeper self-awareness and spiritual growth. You'll hear about 'The Conduct Inventory', an evolved version of the Big Book's sex inventory, which helps in examining secondary addictions. Then, there's 'The Resilient Heart', an exercise focusing on harnessing inner strength. Finally, Dr.
Ryan shares 'The Audre Lorde Questionnaire to Oneself', a set of questions aimed at fostering self-reflection and resilience. This episode isn't just about writing; it's about using words to confront and release internal struggles, leading to a fuller, more integrated self. Dr. Ryan's insights offer a refreshing perspective on recovery, making this episode a must-listen for anyone in a 12-Step fellowship or those curious about the spiritual dimensions of healing.
