Healing from Trauma: Kristina Margaret on Radical Responsibility in Recovery
To take radical responsibility when it comes to addiction, it is to get to the root of the issue, as it is not just about quitting drinking the alcohol or quitting the coke, the meth, the shopping, the fucking and the eating.
Imagine facing a medical scare that makes you want to numb out and escape. That's exactly what happened to Kristina Margaret, and in this episode of 'After Party The Podcast', she gets real about it. Kristina dives into how trauma and addiction are intertwined and shares her personal journey of staying sober even when it's tough to be present in her body.
She talks about how both Western and Eastern medicine can be powerful allies in healing the root causes of addiction, rather than just addressing the symptoms. Kristina's concept of 'radical responsibility' is a game-changer in recovery. It's not just about quitting drinking; it's about digging deep and making choices that support long-term healing. She also offers practical tips for resisting the urge to drink, like her 'play the tape' strategy.
For those looking for more support, Kristina invites listeners to check out her self-paced program and join her for an overnight retreat designed for women who are sober or curious about sobriety. This episode is a raw and honest look at what it takes to live a life beyond alcohol.
