Alcohol also hits women harder and faster than men...Our culture has really glorified this idea of mommy drinking culture, wine o'clock, and I've really tried to change that conversation in showing that was my own personal experience of when my drinking escalated was after having four kids and working and feeling really overwhelmed.
Ever thought about how addiction affects men and women differently? In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch dives into this intriguing topic with two distinguished guests. First up is Kelley Kitley, an LCSW and international women’s mental health expert. Kelley sheds light on how alcohol impacts women more severely than men and the critical need to address co-occurring disorders and trauma in addiction treatment.
Her insights are eye-opening, especially if you've ever wondered why excess drinking can be particularly harmful for women. Following Kelley, Zach sits down with Dr. Jennifer Tippett, a Licensed Clinical Forensic Psychologist. Dr. Tippett discusses the often-debated practice of harm reduction in addiction treatment. She shares her experiences and observations on the inequalities in substance abuse treatment and the potential benefits of innovative approaches like psychedelic-assisted therapy.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the nuanced differences in addiction between genders and the evolving landscape of addiction treatment. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or have a loved one who is, the perspectives shared by Kelley and Dr. Tippett offer valuable insights and hope for a more compassionate and individualized approach to recovery.
