Healthy spirituality leads us into greater love for ourselves and respectful connection with others. Religious addiction, however, traps us in absolutist thinking and ever-growing dependence on a person or institution.
Ever felt trapped by your spiritual journey rather than uplifted? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas tackle a nuanced topic: the fine line between religious addiction and healthy spirituality. Joining them is Dr. Robert Hemfelt, a psychotherapist with a keen focus on relationships and addictive disorders.
Together, they unravel how some spiritual paths can lead to genuine experiences of connection and love, while others might ensnare us in cycles of dependence and rigid thinking. Dr. Hemfelt sheds light on how to identify these harmful patterns and offers practical advice for breaking free from them. He also shares insights on cultivating a life-giving spirituality that fosters self-love and respectful relationships with others.
Whether you’re on a recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable tools to help you navigate your spiritual path with clarity and intention.
