It's time we start learning how to heal together.
How do you heal from the lasting effects of growing up in a household marked by alcohol addiction? Terrance Fleming, the empathetic host of 'The Bear Comes Home From The Bar', dives into this question in an episode that's both heartwarming and practical. Drawing inspiration from the groundbreaking work of Nadine Burke Harris, a renowned pediatrician and the Surgeon General of California, Terrance explores the concept of toxic stress and its impact on children raised in alcohol-affected environments.
In this episode, Terrance shares actionable strategies to alleviate the harm caused by a dysregulated stress response. He focuses on three crucial areas: sleep, mental health, and mindfulness. By prioritising mental health, he advocates for a mix of counselling, recovery groups, and medication when needed. Terrance also highlights the transformative power of mindfulness and meditation, explaining how these practices can lower cortisol levels, balance the immune system, and enhance cognitive functioning.
Listeners will find this episode not just informative but deeply encouraging. Terrance's compassionate approach serves as a reminder that healing from childhood adversity is achievable. He emphasizes that we are not alone in this journey; collective support and shared experiences can be powerful tools for recovery. Whether you're directly affected or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical steps to foster healing and resilience.
