What is Recovery Dharma? with Jordan Harris

AllBetter

What if your understanding of spirituality and recovery could be drastically transformed? Join us as we delve deep with our guest, Jordan Harris, a primary counselor at Fellowship House, who shares his enlightening journey of personal transformation. Jordan, raised in a conservative Protestant family, takes us through his journey from addiction to recovery and the crucial role spirituality played in it.
The conversation explores the profound impact of religious trauma and theological beliefs on an individual's mental health. How did Jordan's evangelical conservative upbringing contribute to his idea of the "self"? How did he find solace in Buddhism and Eastern thought? We hear about Jordan's experiences with self-hatred, fear, and discontentment, and the role of isolation, religion and pharmaceutical pain medications in his addiction. We also delve into how his spiritual awakening helped him overcome the emotional and physical pain of alienation and addiction.
Our chat with Jordan is not just about his personal recovery but also about the potential of non-egoic spirituality in aiding recovery for others. Jordan shares his experiences with practices such as non-attachment, mindfulness, and meditation, emphasizing the importance of finding an approach that resonates personally. We explore the liberating concept of anata no self, a Zen Buddhist teaching that emphasizes the oneness underlying our individual perception. Tune in for an insightful discussion that promises to challenge your perceptions and potentially change your life.
