But notice, there is a permanent adjustment to how you live your life, and that is the difference between a cure and healing. That doesn't mean that you have to spend the rest of your life saying you can't do x, y or z, because it's happened to you, though, and the same is true when it comes to healing from trauma.
Katie Utterback, the vibrant host of 'Healing Laughter', brings a fresh and engaging take on trauma recovery in this episode. Katie dives into the complexities of using opioids and other medications like Xanax, often prescribed to trauma survivors. But here's the twist – she challenges the necessity of these medications, suggesting that true healing can occur without them.
Katie's approach is both informative and empowering, offering listeners alternative tools such as astrology, numerology, and human design to navigate their recovery journey. She also sheds light on the concept of reactive abuse, particularly how men can be victims too, breaking down common misconceptions. Katie doesn't shy away from tough topics like genetic predispositions to addiction and the deep-seated pain originating in the brain.
By reflecting on emotions and understanding childhood neglect, she provides a pathway to healing that goes beyond conventional medicine. Katie's candid discussion about society's reaction to trauma diagnoses and the nuanced difference between curing and healing is eye-opening. She emphasizes that healing is a lifelong journey, a 'permanent adjustment' in how one lives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with trauma, offering a blend of humor, wisdom, and practical advice.
