Healing Through Trauma and Addiction: Dr. Jamie Marich's Journey

Knowing what I know about the disease of addiction, especially some of dr Kevin Mccauley's work on it, and what I know about trauma from studying work like the triune brain model or the hand model, from studying the adaptive information processing model that we use in Emdr, that so much of what the human organism wants is to not feel pain again.
What happens when trauma and addiction collide? Dr. Jamie Marich, a renowned expert in EMDR therapy, expressive arts, and mindfulness, shares her personal and professional insights on this powerful episode of the Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast.
