Episode Synopsis

Saturday, September 20th, 2025, this year's virtual 2025 ICSAA Zoom conference included the session "Spiritual Bypassing," led by John R.Many people believe that "Spiritual Bypassing" is strictly confined to those in a religious context.  John will discuss how the phenomenon can apply to those of us who consider ourselves atheists, non-theists, humanists, secular Buddhists, etc. The presentation is based on his own experience and efforts to overcome this as a pattern of thought and behavior that negatively impacts a more dynamic and embodied life.Slides from this session are available here.For future International Conference of Secular Alcoholics Anonymous events and other resources, visit https://aasecular.org Secular AA is AA sobriety that is neither religious nor irreligious, focusing on the practical, humanist tools of Alcoholics Anonymous and borrowed from the wider recovery community.
