Facing our traumas is F^@k!n hard, but not impossible
Imagine growing up in a home where neglect and alcoholism are the norms. That was Tori's reality. In this episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', Louise Barnett chats with Tori about her challenging journey to sobriety and mental wellness. Tori opens up about her turbulent childhood, living with an alcoholic mother and an absent father, which set the stage for her future struggles. Her adult life wasn't any easier; she found herself trapped in a toxic marriage for seven years.
Leaving that marriage led her into a downward spiral, hitting rock bottom before she could start climbing back up. Tori doesn't sugarcoat the process of facing trauma. 'Facing our traumas is F^@k!n hard, but not impossible,' she says, offering a raw and unfiltered look at her path to recovery. She highlights the critical role of the mind-body connection in her healing process, explaining how our bodies store trauma and how this can manifest in addiction and mental health issues.
'Your body holds all of that trauma and all of that energy within it,' Tori explains. 'And your body will react before your brain can connect it.'
Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of self-awareness. She emphasizes the importance of connecting with oneself to move past trauma and reclaim one's life. For anyone grappling with addiction or past traumas, Tori's candid narrative offers hope and practical insights into overcoming these challenges.
Tune in to hear how she navigated societal pressures, the fear of missing out, and ultimately found her way to sobriety and mental peace.
