Cheryl Sharp on Healing Addiction Through Trauma-Informed Care

Trauma lives in the body, it's not, you know, you don't walk around thinking trauma, trauma, trauma, trauma, it's what's happening in the body and in the brain.
What if the key to addiction recovery lies in understanding trauma? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Challenging Pathos', host Glenn Marshall chats with Cheryl Sharp, a trailblazer in trauma-informed care. Cheryl brings a wealth of experience from her 28 years working with trauma survivors and as a provider of substance abuse and mental health services.
Her personal journey, marked by overcoming significant mental health challenges and the loss of a loved one to mental illness, adds depth to her professional insights. Cheryl’s approach is all about recognizing that trauma affects the body and mind, and she advocates for care that prioritizes the individual's needs and goals. She challenges the traditional disease model of addiction, suggesting instead that we consider the complex relationship between trauma and substance abuse.
Cheryl also talks about the importance of integrating spiritual and holistic practices into treatment, promoting a strength-based approach to recovery. She doesn’t shy away from discussing the role of government policy in making addiction treatment accessible and affordable for everyone. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how trauma-informed care can offer hope and healing to those struggling with addiction.
