Ken Adams is back (you also heard him on episode 57) with Wendy Conquest to talk about their work with women who are enmeshed with either or both of their parents. We explore themes of reclaiming what it means to love and be loved, burdens of guilt, and how to un-enmesh while still being able to love.

We are talking to Leonard Bade about his experience that ranges from helping large corporations change culture for the better to getting sober in 12-step rooms.

July 16, 2018 Episode 89: What Changes in Recovery for Couples?
The second part of our "what changes" series examines aspects of heterosexual relationships that get hit by the recovery bus. For many couples, changes in power structures, emotional expression and sex are things to be feared and avoided. Couples in recovery often find themselves in the middle of radical change simultaneously loving and hating every minute of it.

July 09, 2018 Episode 88: What Changes in Recovery for Men and Women?
Jackie and Jon begin a series on the needed, but often unsettling changes that are byproducts of good recovery. It would be nice if life just got more peaceful and we got more settled as we get more sober, but the truth is that initially a lot of institutions, relationships, and beliefs get upended and have to resettle as we fundamentally change the way we live.

June 18, 2018 Episode 86: Bypass with Craig Cashwell
We sit down today with Craig Cashwell, PhD. to talk about his research and practical application into the nature of spiritual bypass. Dr. Cashwell looks at how we either move toward or away from emotionally or psychologically difficult spaces- the use of spirituality or religion being one of the ways we can either move toward or away.

Join us for a thoughtful and illuminating conversation with Dr. Cashwell.

Show notes: Craig mentioned authors you may want to look more into: John Welwood and Charles Whitfield among others.

May 21, 2018 Episode 82: The Unbroken Brain with Maia Szalavitz
We are excited to have Maia Szalavitz on today to talk about her new book The Unbroken Brain.

Her book, Help at Any Cost is the first book-length exposé of the “tough love” business that dominates addiction treatment. She writes for TIME.com, VICE, the New York Times, Scientific American Mind, Elle, Psychology Today and Marie Claire among others.

Maia sheds light on understanding addiction as a learning disorder rather than a brain disease as well as the key connection between addiction and love. You won't want to miss this episode.
