The wounded healer is exactly what an AA sponsor is to their sponsee - ideally. If a recovering addict can realize that life is not a personal affront, they can drop the need for sympathy from others and, they see that truly what others think of their journey is not their concern. Also, it seems the more we use words to repeat our own traumas beyond the initial recovery, the more we bypass the body's need to ingest and express. The words keep the event above the neck and the body in permanent anticipation; hanging over a cliff. Some of us finally need to speak, and some of us finally need to stop.
Yes, I found some interesting (2021ish?) research showing that AA/TSP *if clinically supervised* are slightly more effective than most *non-harm reductive* conventional approaches (i.e., CBT). Myself, I prefer HR because I do not favour discipline over tender loving-kindness.
A wonderful coversation, thank you.
I adore you all!
