Trauma-informed simply means like if you have a class or even full training within an institution, it just gives you some skills to identify. But it doesn't often include that piece of it.
Ever wondered how childhood trauma shapes our journey to recovery? In this episode, Liv and Tiffany sit down with Lynn Matti, a licensed counselor and recovery leader, to shed light on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their profound impact on substance use disorder. Lynn brings her wealth of knowledge in person-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy to the table, making this conversation both enlightening and deeply empathetic.
The episode kicks off with Lynn sharing her background and expertise, setting the stage for a deep dive into the groundbreaking ACE study. Conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this study has revolutionized how the medical and mental health communities view trauma. Lynn explains how ACEs are not just common among those struggling with substance use disorders but are often a significant factor in their development.
Liv, Tiffany, and Lynn discuss the importance of trauma-informed care, emphasizing that recovery plans should be as unique as the individuals they serve.

Throughout the episode, the conversation is peppered with personal anecdotes and reflections, making it relatable and heartfelt.
The hosts and Lynn stress the importance of compassion—both for oneself and others—and provide valuable suggestions for those who may be struggling. The episode wraps up with a call-to-action to stay curious about life, embrace lifelong learning, and find compassion in every step of the recovery journey.
