Carolina Ayala on Trauma-Informed Recovery and Community Support

I think it's not what's wrong with you, but what happened to you and being able to look at people instead of in a reactive mode of like, oh, you're offending me or you're affecting me.
Ever wondered how trauma impacts addiction recovery? Nathan Mitchell sits down with Carolina Ayala, the driving force behind The Happier Life Project, to discuss this very topic. Carolina, a trauma-informed certified peer coach and advocate, shares her unique approach to recovery that focuses on understanding and addressing trauma. She talks about the importance of meeting people where they are in their journey and the vital role of community support.
Carolina's insights into reducing stigma and creating a supportive environment are eye-opening. She also touches on the peer movement and evidence-based practices that are making a difference in the lives of many. This episode is packed with valuable information for anyone interested in the nuances of addiction recovery.
