On this week’s episode of In The Circle, James asks a question of great concern to many people as they embark on their journey of discovery in recovery—How can a person with religious or relational trauma find their place in modern-day recovery?Together, James and I highlight the plethora of challenges one can encounter on the road to recovery—from cultural misconceptions to financial barriers, why it’s crucial for everyone to take their own unique approach to healing and recovery, and the essential pillars of transformation.This episode stands as guidance for others on their recovery journeys, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself, embracing open-mindedness, and demonstrating resilience in the face of unique challenges. I believe that consistency and truly honoring one's personal journey are the ultimate keys to freedom.Tommy discusses:The cultural misconceptions of alternate recovery methodsThe essential pillars of transformation The importance of open-mindedness and staying true to oneselfThe fine line between conscious surrender and giving away one's powerWhy community is so important in recoveryHow to find a community that supports you and your own, unique pathConnect with TommyInstagramFacebookTikTokAddiction is part of everyone’s journey, but recovery is not.
