We have to work and deal with our internal and early trauma. This can be more difficult to see and process without a reliable, trustworthy “other” in our lives. Sometimes it even takes an expert who can walk us through that journey in order for us to get to that safe space for healing and recovery.
Imagine carrying the weight of early trauma, and finding it hard to see a way out. That's where Andrew Susskind steps in. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Andrew, a seasoned therapist, to talk about his book 'It's Not About the Sex: Moving from Isolation to Intimacy after Sexual Addiction'. The conversation dives deep into how attachment issues and emotional regulation play a role in addiction and trauma recovery.
Andrew shares his expertise on Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting, two therapeutic approaches that focus on the body's nervous system to heal trauma. These techniques are not just about talking through problems but involve tuning into the body's responses to trauma, offering a holistic path to recovery. The episode also highlights the importance of having a reliable support system and how mindfulness can be a game-changer in the healing process.
If you're struggling with internal chaos or know someone who is, this episode sheds light on practical ways to move towards recovery.
