Seeing trauma as an internal dynamic grants us much needed agency
Ever wondered how to truly address and heal from trauma? In this episode of Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery, hosts Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger, along with guest Joe C., dive into the intricacies of emotional sobriety and trauma recovery. Kicking off with a thought-provoking reading from Gabor Maté’s “The Myth of Normal”, the episode explores the delicate balance between acknowledging trauma without getting stuck in it.
The discussion emphasises the importance of seeing trauma as an internal dynamic, which grants us the agency to heal and reconnect with ourselves. Thom and Allen share personal anecdotes and professional insights, illustrating how unresolved trauma can continue to affect us until we actively work on re-solving it. They stress the importance of changing our relationship with past experiences, rather than trying to erase them.
