About the Author

Teri A. Dillion is a licensed psychotherapist, addictions counselor, clinical supervisor, teacher, and meditation instructor. As an award-winning group process leader, she taught Large Group Process in Naropa University's Contemplative Psychotherapy program and has presented at regional conferences on group dynamics and leadership. In retirement, she now explores what an ethical, dogma-free, engaged life of recovery looks like once spiritual bypassing has lost its luster. This exploration includes the humbling lessons of her own early-onset neurodegenerative illness, which she excavates through writing, robust humor, and a hard-won trust in human resilience. She lives in Boulder, Colorado with her husband and two cats.
