Healing Trauma: The Power of Thoughts in Recovery
The event may have given you a lot of data to think with and create a story about it and live in, but it doesn't define you.
Ever wondered how trauma impacts not just your mind but your body too? In this episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', hosts Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy tackle the fascinating topic of trauma-focused treatment versus health-focused treatment. This isn’t just another chat about trauma; it’s a deep dive into how our thoughts shape our experiences and, ultimately, our recovery.
With the help of experts Christine Heath and Judy Sedgeman, the episode offers a fresh perspective on how trauma lingers in our minds and bodies. They share compelling stories that illustrate how changing our thoughts can lead to profound healing. One standout moment is the discussion on how trauma manifests physically, causing pain and other symptoms.
But here’s the twist: by understanding that these symptoms are rooted in our thoughts about the trauma, we can start to release their grip on us. Derbitsky and Suchy emphasize that we shouldn’t let past traumas define us. Instead, they advocate for acceptance and gratitude as powerful tools for healing. Whether you’re dealing with your own trauma or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
