Joe Bailey has been a pioneer in his profession, weaving together ideas and insights on psychology and spirituality. In his twenties, he became a trainer of counselors in family therapy and addictions and introduced ideas of primary prevention of addictions to the treatment profession. Over the next thirty-five years, Joe helped pioneer revolutionary new psychology, Three Principles Psychology, which focused on seeing and actualizing health rather than the current disease model. These principles form the basis for psychology as a principle-based paradigm rather than our current fragmented view.
Today on this podcast, I'd like to talk a little bit more about my upcoming book, "The Transformation Principle" and specifically today what I want to focus on how we can tap into our inner guidance systems
I first met Syd back in 1980, 38 years ago. I was burned out because of the way that I was trained to work in addiction. We were battling the disease. We operated under the assumption that people had this disease and that you had to break the ego defenses through a lot of confrontation, often a lot of judgment, and a lot of painful process-oriented therapy.
Point #1: We can believe and incorporate the principles but still maintain huge blind spots when it comes to our own physical health. Point #2: Believing in something is useless unless you have an insight into it.
