Understanding Trauma-Informed Care: A Deep Dive with Captain Hooked

When you think about some of the people we see that are so dysregulated, it's very hard to change your thoughts if they could follow a structure of rules and things.
Ever wondered how trauma affects addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Captain Hooked: The Addiction Project', addiction psychiatrist Dr. Wiplove Lamba and addictions case manager Jean-Paul Michael break down the essentials of trauma-informed care. They tackle the big questions: How do you create a safe environment in large institutions? What role do adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) play in addiction? And how can healthcare providers best support trauma survivors?
Drawing on their vast experience, Wip and JP share practical tools for assessing trauma, such as the primary care PTSD screener, and discuss the groundbreaking book 'The Body Keeps the Score' by Dr. Van der Kolk. They emphasize that understanding a patient's trauma history is crucial for effective treatment and that recovery is a journey where the patient should always be in control.
With compassion and expertise, they highlight the importance of creating safe spaces where patients feel comfortable sharing their stories. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of trauma and its impact on addiction recovery.
