Rethinking Trauma: Health-Focused Treatment in Addiction Recovery

This series will question the assumption that people are psychologically broken and need to be fixed. This is a true paradigm shift and it simplifies the entire process of dealing with mental distress and allows for more profound and immediate changes.
Is trauma the root cause of addiction, or is it just a piece of the puzzle? In this episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', hosts Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy, along with guests Christine Heath and Judy Sedgeman, challenge the widely held belief that trauma-focused treatment is the best approach for addiction recovery. Drawing from their own experiences and expertise, they argue for a health-focused treatment instead.
This 14-minute segment, originally from Episode 66 of 'Psychology Has it Backwards', dives into the idea that trauma is not the cause of addiction but rather a memory people carry. The discussion highlights how our thoughts about past experiences can shape our present, and why focusing on health rather than trauma might be more effective for those battling addiction.
They emphasize the importance of separating past memories from current reality, offering a fresh perspective on how to tackle addiction by changing one's mindset. If you're looking for a new way to understand addiction recovery, this episode offers a compelling argument for shifting the focus from trauma to overall health.
