Sober Stories from Everyday People

• Sober Stories: Claire T

  ** TRIGGER WARNING ** In this week's episode of 'Sober Stories from Everyday People' I am chatting all things spiritual with Claire who is a Reiki practitioner, a shamanic healer and a clairvoyant. Claire is 136 days sober at the time of this recording. It is not Claires first bout of sobriety although things feel very different this time round. In this episode I talk openly about my own spiritual awakening which has been happening progressively over the last 6-8 months. It is a deep conversation and a vulnerable one for me personally as I have never shared these thoughts openly with anyone. I have to say it is very exposing putting this episode out there but I do it in an attempt to help stitch together the sobriety and spiritual story together in a way that I have never heard before. I am wondering how many people feel similarly to me and whether this content resonates and relieves the thoughts of isolation a spiritual awakening can bring. Claire also talks about rape so please protect yourself if this will be triggering for you. Claire has a lovely energy and compelling tale of courage and bravery. You can find and follow her on instagram at @healingforascension and via https://www.healingforascension.co.uk. I hope you enjoy the episode and I would be extra grateful if you messaged me directly if this helped you in any way.
