It takes meeting the nervous system where it's at, and what I found in traditional recovery methods is that there wasn't space and time to meet my nervous system where it was.
Ever wondered how childhood trauma can shape your path to addiction? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, host Matt Finch sits down with Amy Guerrero, the mind behind Thrive in Recovery, to unravel the complex relationship between trauma and addiction. Amy opens up about her own experiences with traditional recovery methods that fell short and shares why a trauma-informed approach is essential for true healing.
She dives into how trauma affects the brain, making it more susceptible to addiction, and offers practical tips for addressing not just the addiction but also the underlying trauma. Amy's insights don't stop there. She highlights the importance of a holistic recovery strategy that goes beyond mere abstinence. Think diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors that play a crucial role in healing.
She also touches on the language of the nervous system and how understanding it can make a world of difference in recovery. Coaches and therapists will find her advice particularly useful as she discusses how they can better support their clients. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt stories, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to heal from trauma and addiction.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Amy's holistic approach offers a fresh perspective that could be the missing piece in your path to a healthier, happier life.
