Living Between Worlds in Recovery: What Depth Psychology Offers
When most of us addicts wash up on the shores of recovery to say we’ve lost our way seems a gross understatement. The bottom has usually fallen out from under our lives. We feel utterly lost and painfully alone. The world we knew is gone and no new world has arrived to take its place. We need a map to orient us and a guide to help us find our way home.This is the world Jungian analyst Dr. James Hollis describes in his book “Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times.” It’s likely an all too familiar world to most of us addicts. Hollis says not only are we lost, but the religious structures and cultural belief systems thatsupported yesterday’s lost souls seem out of reach for many of today’s men and women. The series describes this lost-world and how to access the “Inner Resilience” needed to find our way home. This episode is in two parts – each focused on insights into the gifts depth psychology can bring to us in recovery. Part #1 covers:A. The real issues of life are never solved – but they can be outgrown.B. The cure for loneliness is solitude.C. Our best, most demanding, and most useful job is addressing our own shadows.Show notes: Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times by James Hollis, PhD.

I’m an Episcopal (Anglican) priest in recovery from alcoholism since 1972. I've spent my career in addiction treatment focused on 12-Step spirituality and exploring the pioneer history of AA. In discovering the lost 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, my program underwent a life-changing transformation. As Bill Wilson said, “ something was lost from AA when we stopped emphasizing the morning meditation." My mission now is helping people in 12-Step Fellowships explore a deeper understanding of spiritual practice and how it connects us to the "Great Reality" within. -Fr. Bill W.
