Gemma Andaya on Mindfulness, Trauma, and Recovery: A Deep Dive

We've got to be able to see both sides. For the most part- and I think it's helpful just to have these types of conversations with clients, because they're so, and that's part of the pathology, right, is that they're so narrow-minded and rigid and self-blaming.
What if you could transform your life through mindfulness and understanding trauma? In this episode of the 'Illuminate Recovery Podcast', Gemma Andaya, Executive Director of The Nestled in Las Vegas, Nevada, joins hosts Curt Neider and Shelley Mangum for a heart-to-heart about the intricate connections between trauma, addiction, and recovery. With her extensive background as a licensed clinician and university educator, Gemma brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.
She dives into how mindfulness can be a game-changer for those struggling with addiction and sheds light on the profound impact of generational trauma. But it's not just about the theory; Gemma shares real-life stories of transformation from The Nestled, where people have broken free from rigid patterns and self-blame to become part of a supportive community. You'll also hear about the importance of healthy relationships, shadow work, and cultivating personal values.
This episode is perfect for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their mental health journey or looking for inspiration to make meaningful changes in their lives. Tune in to discover how mindfulness and trauma-informed care can pave the way for a brighter, more fulfilling future.
