Trauma and Healing: Insights from Dr Jory Smith

Essentially, what the trauma does is it takes away a person's sense of peace, a person's sense of freedom, and they no longer experience the world as safe and peaceful.
How do you heal when trauma and addiction have left deep scars? In this episode of 'Boy Open Up', hosts Doug Hildreth and Christine Stacey sit down with Dr Jory Smith, a seasoned therapist with over two decades of experience. They dive into the nitty-gritty of how trauma intertwines with addiction and the hurdles faced in treatment.
Dr Smith sheds light on the often-overlooked gaps in current therapeutic methods and the urgent need for more accessible emotional support for trauma survivors. He also discusses how trauma can strip away a person's sense of safety and peace, making everyday life a struggle. Yet, amidst the challenges, there’s hope. With the right support and a dedicated journey towards healing, survivors can reclaim their sense of self and look forward to a brighter future.
Whether you're dealing with trauma yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice that could make all the difference.
