It's about finding that balance and realizing that you can't escape your problems through a substance. You have to face them head-on and work through them.
Have you ever wondered how childhood experiences shape our adult lives? Shay Mitchell's story is a testament to that. In this episode of 'Project Recovery', TV personality Casey Scott and psychologist Dr. Matt Woolley sit down with Shay Mitchell to discuss her tumultuous journey through addiction and anxiety. Growing up with a father who struggled with addiction, Shay was no stranger to the chaos it brings.
She opens up about how unaddressed trauma led to severe anxiety and how alcohol seemed like a relief at first, only to become a crutch that spiraled into addiction during her twenties. Shay's candid account doesn't stop there. She delves into using alcohol as a band-aid for postpartum depression after the birth of her second child and how the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated her addiction.
Her turning point came when she admitted to herself that she was an addict, a realization that paved the way for her recovery. Shay emphasizes the significance of building connections with others in recovery and the steps she's taking to maintain her sobriety. This episode isn't just about Shay's struggles; it's a heartfelt conversation about finding balance and facing life's challenges head-on. As Shay puts it, "You can't escape your problems through a substance.
You have to face them head-on and work through them". Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, showing that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset.
