Trauma is anything that happens to us that causes our brain to go into survival mode.
Have you ever wondered how your childhood fears or family arguments might still be affecting you today? In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', trauma and addiction therapist Sarah Helgeson sheds light on the many faces of trauma. From the seemingly small, like being scared of the dark, to the life-altering, such as experiencing abuse or combat, Sarah explains how these experiences can send our brains into survival mode.
Her simple yet profound definition of trauma as 'anything that happens to us that causes our brain to go into survival mode' is a game-changer for understanding our reactions and behaviors. Sarah dives into the concept of generational trauma, revealing how the struggles of our ancestors can ripple through time and influence our present-day thoughts and feelings. Fascinated by how trauma manifests in various aspects of life, she discusses its impact on addiction, relationships, and risky behaviors.
Sarah emphasizes that without addressing the root causes, achieving long-lasting change can be an uphill battle. But it's not all doom and gloom. Sarah and host Preston Moore talk about the power of sharing our stories. By opening up about our experiences, we can normalize mental health and addiction issues, breaking down the stigmas that often keep us silent. They also touch on the frustrating barriers posed by insurance coverage, which can make accessing necessary support services a challenge.
Tune in to hear Sarah's invaluable insights and learn how sharing your story can be a superpower in your journey toward healing and resilience.
