Our first episode on the symptoms of underearning sparked a lot of interest. In this follow-up, we take a closer look at the solution offered by Underearners Anonymous (UA). In the interest of time, we do not cover the foundational tools of all 12 Step programs, i.e., the steps, attending meetings, sponsorship, and service. Rather, we focus on the tools specific to UA and how they support recovery from underearning.

Here is some more information on disassociation and eating disorders and intermittent disassociating.
