Trauma is at the root of all addiction. So to heal addiction, figure out a way to heal the trauma.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop, unable to break free from addiction? Tim Westbrook sits down with Dr. Don Wood, Ph.D., the CEO of Inspired Performance Institute, to shed light on why trauma lies at the heart of addiction and how healing it can set you free. Dr. Wood's approach is all about rebooting the mind to resolve lingering painful memories that keep us in a constant state of fight or flight.
This episode is packed with eye-opening revelations about how our brains handle trauma and why it often leads to addiction. Dr. Wood explains that our emergency management system, designed to protect us in times of threat, can get stuck in overdrive when trauma isn't properly processed. He dives into the Inspired Performance Program, which uses high-definition data to help the subconscious mind reprocess traumatic memories. By doing so, individuals can move past their trauma and regain control over their lives.
The conversation also touches on the link between childhood trauma and addiction, with Dr. Wood highlighting how emotional concussions, like being told you're not good enough, can have lasting impacts similar to major traumatic events. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the importance of addressing trauma for long-term recovery.
