I don't believe that any one of us are broken, right. You're not recovered from trauma, Mm-Hmm, because at every juncture we're learning new ways to live with the trauma, with the trauma we've experienced.
What happens when trauma and addiction intersect? In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Soapbox, hosts Alisa Wood and Lacey Garcia sit down with Jennifer Netto, LCSW, to untangle this complex relationship. They delve into the deep-seated connections between trauma and addiction, shedding light on how experiences like sexual abuse and generational trauma can lead to substance use as a coping mechanism.
Jennifer Netto brings her expertise to the table, emphasizing that survivors are not broken but are continually learning new ways to live with their past traumas. This conversation isn't just theoretical; it's packed with practical advice on how to respond when someone confides in you about their trauma. Netto stresses the importance of addressing trauma early in the recovery process, as it often lies at the root of addiction.
The episode also offers a wealth of resources for survivors of violence, trauma, and sexual assault, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by these issues. The discussion highlights that sobriety can provide a stable foundation for ongoing trauma work, reinforcing that recovery is not just about abstaining from substances but also about healing the mind and soul.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply looking to understand more about this critical topic, this episode offers invaluable insights and hope.
