Embracing Trauma Awareness in Recovery: Liv and Tiffany's Compassionate Guide

We have a responsibility as members of the recovery community to be more trauma-aware so that we can support one another in getting the help we need, but also in being mindful of how certain behaviors could be triggering.
Ever thought about how trauma impacts recovery? In this heartfelt episode of 'Breaking Free: Your Recovery, Your Way.', hosts Liv and Tiffany dive deep into the often-overlooked connection between trauma and addiction. They highlight that two-thirds of those in recovery have faced some form of trauma, making it crucial for the recovery community to be more trauma-aware. The duo offers practical tips on how to create a safer and more supportive environment for everyone involved.
From keeping doors open during meetings to avoiding toxic positivity, they provide thoughtful suggestions to ensure no one feels triggered or unsafe. Liv and Tiffany also stress the importance of understanding that traditional 12-step programs might not be enough for everyone and that outside help can be essential. They discuss the role of sponsors, emphasizing the need to pause and listen when someone mentions their trauma, and knowing when to refer to guidelines or seek additional support.
This episode also takes a closer look at Step Five, exploring how it can be approached in a trauma-informed way. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights on fostering a compassionate and inclusive recovery community.
