When you change, everything else changes around you.
How does trauma ripple through generations, shaping lives in ways we might not even realize? In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch sits down with Carolyn Ross, a board-certified addiction medicine specialist, and Ricky Mills, the Director of Nursing at Landmark Recovery in Louisville. Together, they unravel the complex web of intergenerational trauma and its profound impact on addiction and mental health.
Carolyn Ross, who has dedicated over 30 years to working with people suffering from addiction, shares her expertise and personal journey. She dives into her recent TEDx Talk, highlighting how trauma experienced in childhood can cast long shadows into adulthood. Ross emphasizes that healing from trauma isn't a straightforward path but requires a supportive environment and professional guidance. She also touches on the crucial role of nutrition in recovery, advocating for a balanced diet while cautioning against demonizing certain foods.
Ricky Mills brings a practical perspective to the conversation, discussing the challenges nurses face in medicating patients with both physical and mental health issues. He underscores the importance of understanding a patient's full health history, especially when dealing with dual diagnoses. Mills also addresses the difficulties in treating patients who might not be fully transparent about their substance use, stressing the need for honesty and awareness in mental health treatment.
This episode is a deep dive into how past traumas influence present struggles and the holistic approaches needed for effective recovery. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, the insights shared by Ross and Mills offer valuable guidance on navigating the journey towards healing.
