At the end of the day, we're addiction therapists. I'm using a lot of the philosophy of EMDR, and by that I mean when I talk to these women and they tell me what happened to them. But they can look around the room and see how the other women are clearly not to blame.
How does trauma shape addiction, and what can be done to heal from it? In this episode of 'Recovery Talks: A Fairbanks Podcast', host Kathleen Gill sits down with Kim Davenport, a Master Therapist at Fairbanks, to unravel these questions. Kim shares her journey into trauma-focused therapy, driven by the overwhelming prevalence of trauma among her female patients.
The episode sheds light on the Fairbanks Origins Program, a specialized treatment track designed to address the root causes of addiction by focusing on underlying trauma. Kim explains how the program uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help women understand that they are not at fault for their traumatic experiences. By fostering a safe environment, the program encourages women to share their stories, work through their emotions, and rebuild their self-esteem.
Weekly sessions and self-care practices are integral parts of the program, aiming to dismantle negative belief systems and promote a healthier self-image. The Origins Program also extends support to families, offering counseling to mend strained relationships and build a supportive network. Kim emphasizes the importance of challenging ingrained negative beliefs that have taken root over years of trauma.
The episode is a heartfelt exploration of how addressing trauma can pave the way for recovery, offering hope and practical advice for those on their journey to healing. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction and trauma, this episode is a must-listen.
