We know that actually healing the trauma helps aid in the recovery of the person, and that's the message that I want to continue and I want to create more dialogue, and I want to create safe spaces for survivors to be able to talk about that and find healing, because it's possible.
Jennifer Storm's story is one of profound resilience and recovery. At just 12 years old, she experienced a traumatic assault that led her down a path of alcohol and drug abuse. By 22, she found sobriety, but the journey to heal from her trauma was far from over. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with Storm to explore her experiences and insights, captured in her best-selling memoir, 'Blackout Girl'.
This conversation dives deep into the connection between trauma and addiction, highlighting the importance of trauma-informed care in the healing process. Storm also shares how writing became a crucial part of her recovery, providing a therapeutic outlet and a way to connect with others who have faced similar struggles. With the ongoing impact of the #MeToo movement, Storm's message underscores the need for open dialogue about sexual violence and the creation of safe spaces for survivors.
Her story is not just about overcoming addiction, but also about finding hope and strength in the face of adversity. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the complex interplay between trauma and addiction, and how recovery is possible with the right support and resources.
