58 - ACA Step 4 - Why Our Past is Our Greatest Asset

In today's episode, Andrea dives deep into Step 4 of the ACA program - "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves." We discuss (and by we, I mean ME!) the purpose, the process, the key areas of focus (shame, abandonment, resentment, harm, and trauma) and what it means to take a blameless inventory. We also discuss how an ACA 4th step differs from a 4th step in AA/NA, as well as the limitations of the 12-steps in addressing unprocessed trauma.ACA Step WorkbookTrauma and 12 Steps Leaving Crazy Town workshop Support the Podcast -https://www.patreon.com/adultchildwww.buymeacoffee.com/adultchildFollow Andrea on social -www.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source https://m.soundcloud.com/spiritkind76/bill-withers-lovely-day-karizma-remix (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only)Support the show Our Sponsors: * Check out Badlands Ranch: badlandsfood.com/ADULTCHILD * Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ADULTCHILD for a great deal: happymammoth.com * Give Armoire a try and get up to 50% off their first month, that’s up to $125 OFF!
