We're back to interviews on Redeeming Disorder!
Guided meditations 1-12 will remain up on the podcast for your use whenever you like, and in the meantime, it feels good to get back to real stories of mental disorder. Today's story is a special one whose subject matter hits home for me: Todd Herzog's struggle as an alcoholic.
Todd shares the unsung side of his story in this interview; while downward spirals get a lot of attention, upward spirals are stories worth telling. I'm grateful to Todd for doing the telling, and living as an example of crawling out of the hole that is alcoholism. I grew up seeing my dad in that same hole, where he remained until passing away one year ago. On the anniversary of getting that sad call from my sister, I'm joined (and interviewed) by my partner Kailey to talk about what has come up for me the past few days.
I hope you enjoy these conversations, I hope you have a fantastic New Year's Eve, and HAPPY 2021!
PS — I've mentioned a number of books in recent episodes, namely today's episode. While the cascade of recommendations won't continue, I will share links to the books mentioned, for those interested: ~ In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts & When the Body Says No by Gabor Mate ~ Awareness by Anthony De Mello ~ Breath by James Nestor ~ PPS — No, the journalist, ayahuasquero and Jesuit priest above are not paying me to recommend their books.
