I used to think healing was solo work

Until I reluctantly learned the truth

Hey there ,

Let me take you back to the moment that changed everything for me.

It was 1999, and I was lying on the floor of my apartment, completely broken.

My infant daughter had died. My marriage had crumbled. My addictions had completely taken over.

Each morning, I woke up wondering if life was even worth continuing.

For months, I tried to handle it the way I always had—alone, in my head.

But this wasn't something I could think my way out of or push my way through.

Eventually, I found myself in a recovery group on the recommendation of a wise priest.

I walked into that circle of strangers, sat down, and listened to people talk about their pain.

At first, I was reluctant to talk. I sat there with my arms crossed and my mouth shut.

But eventually, something shifted:

For the first time in my life, I felt safe enough to speak about my pain out loud.

When I did, something remarkable happened:

The loneliness faded. The shame started to lift. The wounds began to close.

It was in those recovery groups that I learned we aren’t designed to heal in isolation.

We need the relational safety that comes from being seen and held by others who understand us.

That's exactly what you’ll find inside the Inner Work Community.

You can still join today for just $15.99/month with the special 20% launch discount.

But on August 31st at midnight EST, the price goes up to $19.99/month.

Learn more about it here (launch discount already applied).

In solidarity,

Bob

P.S. That recovery circle saved my life. Now I’m offering a similar healing space for people like you.
