The addiction or the vice, or the coping mechanism or the behavioral response, was literally just a symptom of this deeper-rooted problem.
Imagine a world where addiction isn't just seen as a bad habit, but as a symptom of deeper pain. That's exactly what Drew Wild and Matt Kay discuss in this episode of the Kick the Sh!t Podcast. Hosted by Danny Shannon, who has been sober since 2009, this episode takes a deep dive into the complexities of addiction and trauma. Drew Wild is on a mission to change how we view addiction.
He believes that our society is more plugged in than ever, leading people to numb themselves with alcohol, drugs, social media, and even overworking. Drew argues that these vices are merely coping mechanisms for deeper-rooted issues. His perspective shifts the focus from 'why the addiction?' to 'why the pain?' This change in viewpoint can help uncover more permanent solutions to addiction. Joining Drew is Matt Kay, who delves into the effects of developmental trauma.
Matt emphasizes the importance of recognizing and processing emotions to achieve true recovery. Together, they explore various recovery methods, including the-step programs, abstinence, and trauma-based therapy. They also stress the need for inclusivity and understanding in the recovery community. This episode isn't just about identifying problems; it's about finding solutions. Drew and Matt offer practical advice and emotional support for anyone struggling with addiction or trying to help a loved one.
Their insights make this episode a must-listen for those seeking a deeper understanding of addiction and recovery.
