Whatever their drug of choice is, it was probably a wonderful medicator and Anesthetizer to their emotional pain and they're often in that fight flight or freeze response in reference to the trauma, the traumatic stress that goes on, even if the trauma is not blatant in the family in which they were raised.
Ever wondered how childhood experiences shape your adult life, especially if you grew up in a home affected by addiction? In this episode of Soberful, Veronica Valli sits down with the esteemed Dr. Claudia Black to unpack the lasting effects of growing up with addicted parents. Dr. Black, a leading expert in the field, dives into how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can linger into adulthood, impacting everything from relationships to self-esteem.
She doesn’t just stop at identifying the problems; she offers practical advice on how to recognize these patterns and begin the healing process. From understanding internalized beliefs to the role of honesty in recovery, Dr. Black provides a roadmap for those looking to break free from the generational cycle of addiction. She also shares insights on what a healthy family dynamic looks like and how to build one, even if you didn’t grow up in one yourself.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, whether directly or indirectly, and offers hope and actionable steps for moving forward.
