You need to do the work to heal yourself. No one is going to be able to do that for you, just as much as an addict can't get sober if they don't want it for themselves.
Imagine finding out that the person you trust the most is the one leading you down a dark path. That's exactly what happened to Nicolette Dalhamer, host of 'Evolution by Nikki', in this gripping episode. Reflecting on the tumultuous years between 2002 and 2006, Nikki opens up about her mother's addiction and how it pushed her into a spiral of prescription drug abuse. Despite the red flags, she clung to the belief that her mother would never harm her.
But as her mother's addiction worsened, Nikki found herself entangled in her own battle with substance abuse. This episode isn't just a recounting of past struggles; it's a raw, heartfelt exploration of the long-lasting impact of trauma on mental health. Nikki underscores the critical need for self-healing and personal responsibility in recovery. She puts it plainly: 'You need to do the work to heal yourself.
No one else can do it for you.' Through her candid storytelling, Nikki sheds light on how trauma affects relationships and the arduous journey towards self-discovery and recovery. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar challenges, encouraging listeners to share their own experiences and seek the help they need.
