It doesn't work for me to be with this anger. And that's when I start to focus on taking care of all of these kinds of feelings you have.
Ever wondered how growing up in an addictive household shapes a person? In this episode of 'Recovery Recharged', Ellen Stewart, the Pushy Broad from the Bronx, sits down with Claudia Black PhD to uncover the hidden impacts. Claudia, a pioneer in the field and one of the original founders of The National Association Of Children Of Alcoholics, shares her deep understanding of the survival roles and coping behaviors children adopt in such environments.
These roles, whether it's being the responsible child or the acting-out one, often carry into adulthood, leading to challenges like depression and loneliness. Claudia doesn't just highlight the problems; she offers practical exercises and thoughtful explanations to help listeners gain clarity and develop new skills for a healthier life. She breaks down how addiction affects the brain, particularly focusing on dopamine and its role in creating compulsive behaviors.
Whether it's drugs, alcohol, or other addictions like food or work, understanding this can be a game-changer in the recovery process. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone affected by addiction, either personally or through a loved one. Claudia emphasizes the importance of recovery coaches and psychotherapists, especially those familiar with family of origin issues. Her message is clear: while the past shapes us, we have the power to change our future.
Tune in for a conversation that offers both hope and practical tools for those on their recovery journey.
