Psychology and Spirituality | Navigating Emotional Shadows - Addiction as a Call to Spiritual Awakening With Marcia Trajano and Peter Hays Drug addiction is often a shadow seeking anesthesia. But, what pain is being silenced? In this episode, Marcia Trajano and Peter Hayz explore addiction through Spiritist psychology, Jung’s Shadow, and The Gospel According to Spiritism. Healing begins when the soul is heard.

It supports individuals seeking recovery from alcohol addiction through a 12-Step program centered on personal accountability, mutual support, and spiritual growth (not tied to any specific religion). AA meetings are free, anonymous, and widely available worldwide. The program emphasizes sobriety “one day at a time” and sponsorship, where more experienced members mentor newcomers in recovery. • Documentary Chalk Talk The Chalk Talk documentary series refers to educational video productions that use a “chalk talk” format—experts explaining complex topics while drawing diagrams, timelines, or key concepts on a board—to make learning visual and accessible. • Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is an 1886 Gothic novella by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story follows Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected scientist who creates a potion that transforms him into the sinister Edward Hyde, embodying his repressed impulses and moral corruption. Set in Victorian London, the novella explores themes of duality, identity, repression, and the conflict between public respectability and hidden desires. The phrase “Jekyll and Hyde” has since become shorthand for the coexistence of good and evil within one person.
