Healing Generations: Sobriety's Role in Breaking Trauma Cycles

I didn't believe that my childhood really affected me that much. I didn't realize until I was like when I started drinking around. But one thing because I get really anxious and I get really scared, one thing I've learned from my therapist is: you're not there anymore. You're here and you're safe and you have control over who comes in your life and who comes out.
What does it mean to break the chains of intergenerational trauma? In this heartfelt episode of 'The Sobriety Circle', hosts Jade Roberts and Leora Badger share their personal journeys as Indigenous women navigating the complex web of inherited pain and healing. They open up about how the traumatic experiences of their parents, especially their fathers who survived residential schools, have shaped their lives.
Yet, through their commitment to sobriety, Jade and Leora are actively working to mend these deep wounds and pave a path towards intergenerational healing. This episode is a blend of raw emotion and hopeful resilience. Jade and Leora emphasize the significance of finding safe spaces and the courage it takes to seek counseling and therapy. They also discuss the power of reconnecting with their cultural roots as a source of strength and healing.
The conversation touches on the anxiety that often accompanies facing past traumas and the vital reminder that safety can be found in the present moment. Listeners will find this episode both touching and empowering, as Jade and Leora offer practical advice and heartfelt stories that resonate deeply. Whether you're dealing with your own trauma or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into the healing power of sobriety and cultural connection.
