Healing Wounds: The Role of Trauma in Addiction Recovery

When I started learning about my own stuff, I started looking back at what the research is saying. That isn't behavioral, it's not done with saying: take the contrary action, because we hear that so much in recovery, take the contrary action and it helps.
What happens when the scars of the past shape your journey to sobriety? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Sober Pod', hosts Sam, Devin, and Chris sit down with Tommy, a seasoned expert in trauma and recovery. They dive deep into how both major and minor traumas can impact addiction recovery, offering fresh perspectives on the path to healing.
Tommy sheds light on the difference between traditional counseling and recovery rooms, sharing his own experiences with EMDR therapy—a powerful tool that helped him confront his past. You'll hear about the importance of individualized recovery plans, as what works for one person might not be effective for another. The conversation also touches on the power of storytelling in recovery and the need for preventative measures in addiction outreach.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complex relationship between trauma and addiction, and why a holistic approach is essential for true healing.
