Breaking the Cycle: Pain Management and Addiction with Josh & Hollie

When something is showing up, it is not a negative.
Ever wondered why some people turn to destructive behaviors when they're in pain? In this episode of 'Now Sober Podcasts', Vince and Jeanna sit down with Josh and Hollie, the authors of 'Bang Head Here', to tackle this very question. Josh and Hollie share their insights on how our early experiences with pain management can shape our responses to emotional pain later in life.
They argue that many of us mimic the coping mechanisms we saw in our caregivers, for better or worse. This can lead to a cycle of blame and self-destruction that is hard to break. But don't lose hope! Josh and Hollie also offer practical advice on how to foster a healthier environment at home. They stress the importance of self-awareness and connection, urging parents to examine their own ways of dealing with pain.
By doing so, they believe families can create a supportive atmosphere that helps everyone heal from past traumas. The episode is packed with personal stories and actionable tips, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to learn how understanding the roots of emotional pain can be the first step toward breaking free from destructive habits.
