I really feel that if we boil this all down, it's low self-esteem that is at the core of everything we suffer with, and that our lives unfold from that place.
Ever wondered how the shadows of an addictive family system can stretch across generations? In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, Michael Walsh sits down with Lisa Woititz, a seasoned expert in mental health and addiction. Lisa's unique perspective is shaped by her upbringing around the pioneers of the Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) movement, including her mother, Janet Woititz.
Lisa dives into the intricate dance between 'nature and nurture' in intergenerational addiction, shedding light on how understanding these patterns can pave the way for healing. She also talks about her book, 'Unwelcome Inheritance', which explores these deep-rooted issues and offers insights on breaking free from them. You'll hear Lisa discuss how low self-esteem often lies at the heart of addiction struggles and why short-term recovery tools like suboxone can be game-changers.
She doesn't shy away from critiquing the addiction industry's reluctance to evolve and emphasizes the importance of confronting the daunting yet necessary steps towards transformation. If you're looking for hope and practical advice on breaking the cycle of addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
