These little pieces break off every time there's a trauma or an abuse. The little piece breaks off and that little boy takes that little piece and wraps it in a cocoon and hides it and protects me from it so that I don't have to feel what I would feel, because what happened to me was pretty horrific.
Imagine growing up in a home where alcoholism and dysfunction are the norms. This is the reality for many, including Mark H., who shares his powerful journey in this episode of 'Journey to Freedom ACA'. Mark dives into the deep-seated effects of childhood trauma and PTSD that linger long after leaving the family home. He talks about the false identity he created to cope with his past and the moment he realized he needed help.
Through the Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) program, Mark found the support and guidance he desperately needed. His story underscores the critical role of addressing trauma head-on, and how trust and forgiveness can pave the way to healing. Listeners will hear about the importance of acknowledging trauma, managing daily triggers, and breaking free from denial. Mark's experience offers hope and practical advice for anyone grappling with similar issues, showing that recovery is possible with the right support.
