Interventions, even in mental health, don't really cut it anymore, because they're not dealing with this pervasive body level distress people experience, and that's one of the reasons why substances and reinforcing behaviors are appealing.
Ever wondered how trauma and addiction are intertwined? In this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast', host Darren Littlejohn chats with Dr. Jamie Marich, an expert in trauma therapy and EMDR. They dig into the ways unresolved trauma can fuel addiction and mental health issues. Dr. Marich highlights the limitations of traditional treatments and the benefits of holistic approaches that address body-level distress.
She emphasizes that many interventions fall short because they don't tackle the deep-seated physical tension that drives people toward addictive behaviors. This episode sheds light on the importance of personalized recovery plans and mindfulness practices in healing. It's a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of trauma-informed recovery.
