When attachments are not secure, that fight flight freeze kicks up big time and it's below my level of conscious control at that point.
Ever wondered how attachment issues from childhood can affect addiction later in life? In this episode of 'Genuine Life Recovery', Jodie Stevens sits down with Ed Khouri, a seasoned expert in addictions, trauma, and family dynamics. Ed, an author and therapist, brings decades of experience to the table as he breaks down complex topics like codependency and attachment disorders.
This is the first part of a two-part series that digs deep into how early-life attachment issues can influence relationships and contribute to addictive behaviors. Ed and Jodie start by defining codependency and what Ed calls the 'four deadly P's'. They discuss various types of attachment disorders and their long-term impacts on our emotional and psychological well-being. Ed explains how trauma can disrupt healthy attachment styles, leading to disorganized attachment patterns that often correlate with addiction.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Ed offers practical tools for adjusting attachment processing, emphasizing the importance of face-to-face interactions in healing. His insights are not just informative but also provide a sense of hope for those struggling with these issues. If you're interested in understanding the deeper psychological aspects of addiction and how to address them, this episode is a must-listen.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting a loved one, Ed's wisdom and Jodie's empathetic approach make this episode both enlightening and encouraging.
