Surrender and the Will: Dr. Saphira Bjørnå on Addiction, Psychosynthesis, and Deep Inner Healing

Surrender and the Will: Dr. Saphira Bjørnå on Addiction, Psychosynthesis, and Deep Inner Healing

What if addiction is more than a disease—what if it’s a spiritual initiation?

In this profound episode, Kenneth Sørensen speaks with Dr. Saphira Bjørnå, a psychosynthesis psychotherapist and researcher, about the deep connection between addiction, the will, and the soul. Drawing from her Ph.D. work on the 12-Step Program, Saphira reveals how surrender becomes a portal to empowerment, and how spiritual guidance, group healing, and inner helpers can help those in recovery reclaim their self-worth.

You’ll also learn how psychosynthesis views addiction as a misdirected longing for wholeness—and how the journey inward leads to the emergence of a mature will that can hold both pain and purpose.
