Feeling anything could be a trigger when you're in your addiction, you know, and that's just the thing it's feeling anything.
Mandi's journey is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up, she faced cultural pressures that shaped her coping mechanisms, leading to an addiction to food and self-destructive behaviors. Today, she's a clinical therapist working with recovering addicts in the legal system, using her personal experiences to guide others towards healing. In this episode, Mandi opens up about her childhood, the impact of her culture on her mental health, and how she found purpose in her career.
She also dives into the complexities of triggers—how they manifest differently for addicts compared to those without addiction—and emphasizes the importance of self-compassion in recovery. Mandi's story is a testament to the power of turning personal struggles into a source of strength and support for others. If you're interested in understanding the nuances of addiction and recovery, or if you're seeking inspiration from someone who's been through it all, this episode is a must-listen.
