The Journey Toward Complete Recovery:
Excerpt
“Authentic Process Therapy is based on the principle that all
people have suffered emotional or physical trauma to their natural emergent
energies at some stage in their development; that we all have moments
of dissociation and separation from ourselves, and that we are all consciously
or unconsciously seeking a more holistic connection with the universe.
This then is the common ground with Twelve-Steppers and with others in
recovery, with those seeking holism through spirituality and with the
general population. We are all working through stages of awakening to
recover our lost innocence, our lost joy, our lost place in the universe;
and we can help each other succeed, just by speaking our truth as we discover
it. We in recovery are in as good a position to be the hundredth monkey
for global transformation as any group in history, and the Stage Two process
(however you choose to undertake it) offers an opportunity to connect
with every other sentient being and to the planet as a whole. Perhaps
it is the "missing link" you have been looking for.”
