What you're trying to do is to understand better what it is that is blocking you from doing what is really good for you.
What if the traditional 12-step program could be reimagined to better support your journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'Now Sober Podcasts', Vince and Jeanna sit down with Serge Prengel, a therapist with expertise in Focusing, Core Energetics, and Somatic Experiencing. Serge brings a unique perspective to the table, exploring the science behind the 12-step programs and how they can sometimes lead to self-shaming.
His book, 'The Proactive Twelve-Steps: A Mindful Program for Lasting Change', offers a fresh approach that focuses on mindfulness and personal growth. Serge shares his journey into recovery work, despite not being in recovery himself, and discusses why he felt the need to reword the traditional steps. He delves into the spirit of the steps, emphasizing the importance of understanding what blocks us from doing what's good for us.
The conversation also touches on the science of trauma and addiction, and how fear of feelings can be a significant barrier to recovery. Listeners will find valuable insights into how mindfulness can aid in the recovery process and the benefits of peer support. Serge's approach is all about taking personal responsibility without feeling burdened by guilt or shame. Instead, it's about embarking on a journey within to understand and heal oneself.
If you're curious about how a mindful approach can transform your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Serge Prengel's innovative take on the 12-steps and discover how his reworded steps can help you achieve lasting change.
