Living with Parental Alcohol Abuse: Insights from Dr. Stephanie Brown

Trauma is so important to the work that I've always done because trauma wasn't understood or accepted except as natural disaster. But trauma as a life experience that will result in lots of emotional problems of all kinds.
Growing up in a home where alcohol abuse is prevalent leaves lasting scars. In this episode of 'Silent Voices', Marion Rackard sits down with Dr. Stephanie Brown, a licensed psychologist and expert on treating adult children of alcoholics. Together, they explore the deep psychological effects of parental problem alcohol use and discuss the critical role of therapy and support groups like Aca in the healing process. Dr.
Brown sheds light on how these experiences shape emotional well-being and the importance of addressing trauma through professional help. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone affected by alcohol harm or those working in the field of addiction and mental health. Tune in to gain a better understanding of the complex impact of alcohol abuse in families and discover pathways to recovery.
