Transitioning from Accountability to Accessing Emotions in Addiction Recovery

“Real accountability leads to accessibility.” - Michael John Cusick

On this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael concludes our 3-part series on Accountability:

• Cop Accountability
• Coach Accountability
• Cardiologist Accountability

Today's episode emphasizes the third and final part, cardiologist accountability. With the cardiologist accountability strategy, this is an approach where…

“…we move from accountability to accessibility. We expose our hiddenness, but more than that, we acknowledge our brokenness. Instead of trying to manage our sin, or be inspired to obey, we recognize our need for transformation. We begin to allow God, and a few others, to walk into the messiness of our lives, and we learn that we are more than the sum of our brokenness. Cardiologist accountability does not require a professional therapist or counselor. It begins with the assumption that our whole lives, including our brokenness, are the soil in which God grows us. The only requirements for becoming a cardiologist of this kind are a healthy curiosity, a desire to be a caring friend, and a willingness to grow in your understanding of the process of spiritual transformation.”
