I learned to put my hand on my heart and say: it's okay, you're okay, it'll be okay, let it go all that, all that stuff that stops the crazies in my brain.
Lisa Kohn's childhood was far from ordinary. Born into the controversial Moonie cult, she spent her early years navigating two wildly different worlds: her mother's strict, fanatical environment and her father's chaotic life in New York City's East Village during the 1970s. In this gripping episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Lisa opens up about her tumultuous upbringing and the deep-seated trauma that followed her into adulthood.
Her memoir, 'To the Moon and Back: A Childhood Under the Influence', paints a vivid picture of these contrasting realities and the impact they had on her mental health and addiction struggles. As Lisa recounts her journey, you'll hear about the moment she found the strength to break free from the cult's grasp and start rebuilding her life. She discusses the crucial role of recovery communities in her healing process and how self-love and acceptance became her guiding lights.
Parenting while in recovery presents its own set of challenges, and Lisa candidly shares her experiences, emphasizing the importance of self-compassion in overcoming past traumas. The episode also touches on the benefits of online substance abuse counseling, which offers a private and accessible way to seek help. Lisa's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of recovery.
Her insights offer hope to anyone grappling with trauma or addiction, making this episode a must-listen for those seeking inspiration and support. Tune in to hear Lisa Kohn's powerful tale of courage, transformation, and the journey towards self-discovery on 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast'.
