Dr. Dodd, a seasoned expert in addiction recovery and stress management, brings his profound knowledge to the table, discussing how early bonds and trauma shape our journey towards self-fulfilment.
His influential book, 'The Voice of the Heart', has resonated with many worldwide, making him a perfect guest for this deep dive into understanding who we are and how we can heal. Dr. Dodd shares his insights on the importance of knowing oneself, emphasising that a person who doesn't understand their identity will struggle to reach their full potential. He elaborates on the vital role of human connection, explaining that our need for relationships is hardwired from birth.
Using engaging anecdotes and relatable examples, Dr. Dodd illustrates how trauma can disrupt our natural inclination towards connection and how reclaiming our emotional and spiritual selves is key to recovery.

These emotions, he explains, are tools given to us to navigate life's challenges and find fulfilment through relationships.
He also touches on the concept of 'emotional orphanhood', where a lack of early connection leads to feelings of inadequacy and the development of a false self. Evan Owens complements the discussion with his thoughtful questions and reflections, making this episode a rich resource for anyone on their recovery journey. Whether you're grappling with your own identity or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice.
