I think it is important to remember that at the age of puberty- we're talking middle school, maybe going into high school, even elementary bullying is a common part of how children interact and test boundaries.
Bullying can leave deep scars, and for Natalie Naman, those wounds led her down a dark path of isolation and addiction. In this episode of 'Recovery Replay', Natalie opens up about her painful experiences with bullying—whether mental, cyber, or physical—and how they shaped her life. But this isn't just Natalie's story. Her mother, Christine Naman, and clinician Dr. Whitney Howzell also weigh in, offering their perspectives on her journey to recovery.
Christine shares the heartbreak of watching her daughter struggle and the relentless love that drove her to seek help. Dr. Howzell provides expert insights into the psychological impact of bullying and the therapeutic steps crucial for healing. You'll hear about Natalie's passion for gymnastics, a beacon of hope nearly extinguished by self-harm and substance abuse. She candidly discusses the grueling process of withdrawal and the emotional toll of caretaking responsibilities.
Despite the hardships, Natalie's narrative is one of resilience and hope. Her words, 'I'm just grateful that I'm still here', encapsulate the spirit of this episode. If you've ever wondered about the role of family support in recovery or the long-lasting effects of bullying, this episode offers a heartfelt exploration. Tune in to 'Recovery Replay' to join Natalie on her inspiring journey toward healing and growth.
