Rodney Holmstrom sits down with Tyra, a ministry leader at Celebrate Recovery, to share her powerful journey of overcoming trauma and food addiction. Tyra opens up about her turbulent childhood marked by emotional neglect, abuse, and the revelation of her true paternity at age 12. These experiences led her to struggle with food issues, starting with anorexia and bulimia during her teenage years.
Despite various attempts at recovery, including therapy and treatment centres, Tyra found herself battling addiction to morphine and heroin in her early twenties. Her story takes a turn when she hits rock bottom and finds hope through Celebrate Recovery, a Christ-centred recovery programme. Tyra discusses how the principles of Celebrate Recovery helped her confront not just her food issues but also underlying problems like codependency and perfectionism.
She highlights the importance of trauma therapy, supportive community, and the power of positive affirmations rooted in faith. Tyra’s story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of support and faith. If you're grappling with similar struggles, this episode offers hope and practical advice on finding your path to recovery.
