I think in that thing in particular, it's something that a lot of people that experience addiction really struggle with, not being so hard on themselves, and you know all the guilt and the shame- and often there's trauma that you know has kind of led to them having all that pain in the first place.
Kaylah's life has been a rollercoaster of family violence and addiction, but her story is one of incredible resilience. In this episode of 'Straight From the Source', she opens up about her tumultuous journey through child protection services and the family drug treatment court. What makes Kaylah's narrative so compelling is her candid discussion of the guilt and shame that haunted her, as well as the trauma that fueled her addiction.
But this isn't just a tale of hardship—it's a story of hope. Kaylah's determination and the support she received helped her turn her life around. Today, she’s a peer worker, using her experiences to guide others facing similar struggles. This episode sheds light on the intricate web of issues surrounding addiction and family violence, offering valuable insights into the importance of community support in recovery. Kaylah's journey is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, transformation is possible.
