Trauma becomes a habit, it becomes an addiction, and so when you're addicted to other substances, you need to continue using or you just don't feel good, and then those coping mechanisms backfire on us and then our lives get even worse and we still have not dealt with the underlying problem
What happens when trauma and addiction intertwine? In this episode of The Elizabeth Chance Podcast, Elizabeth dives deep into this complex relationship with her guest. They share personal stories and insights on how trauma can become a habit, leading to addictive behaviors. The conversation highlights the crucial role of community support in recovery, emphasizing that healing is often a collective effort.
Therapy and breath work are discussed as powerful tools for overcoming these challenges, offering practical advice for those seeking a path to wellness. The episode also warns against the pitfalls of trying too many solutions at once, advocating for a more focused approach. Remote therapy is presented as a viable option for those who might feel overwhelmed by in-person sessions.
Lastly, they touch on the concept of 'acting as if'—a mindset that can help individuals start making positive changes even before they fully believe in them. This episode is a heartfelt discussion filled with empathy and practical tips, perfect for anyone grappling with trauma and addiction.
