Childhood trauma is probably the biggest one, and I have two childhood traumas before The Age Of Seven.
What really makes someone an addict? In the trailer for 'Making An Addict', psychotherapist and author D.J. Burr sets the stage for a deep dive into the complex factors behind addiction. Burr, who is also in long-term recovery, hosts a series that brings together voices from all sides of the issue—recovering addicts, their families, and treatment providers. This trailer gives you a taste of the raw and honest conversations that define the podcast.
Burr touches on significant themes like childhood trauma and genetic predispositions, sharing personal stories that resonate deeply. One guest recounts experiencing profound trauma before the age of seven, losing a parent to cancer and surviving sexual abuse, illustrating how early life events can shape one's path to addiction. Another guest highlights the genetic aspects, explaining how some people are hardwired to be addicts due to central nervous system dysfunctions.
The trailer also features moving personal accounts from those who have faced addiction head-on. One story involves a person who succumbed to peer pressure and struggled to find their place in society, eventually battling paranoid schizophrenia exacerbated by drug abuse. These narratives are not just about the struggle; they also emphasize the journey towards recovery and understanding. If you're curious about what drives addiction or seeking insight into recovery, this podcast promises to be both informative and thought-provoking.
Tune in to hear more personal stories, expert insights, and heartfelt discussions on the root causes of addiction.
