The abuse, as you know, comes in in many forms, and you know we always talk about the three big t traumas. And if you look at what addiction is in the classic biopsychosocial model, it's biology, genetics, right, it's the place that you grew up, which is, you know, your household, your trauma, and then opportunity.
What if the key to understanding addiction lies in our childhood? In this episode of 'Now Sober Podcasts', Vince and Jeanna sit down with Dr. Stephen Lloyd, the Chief Medical Officer at Cedar Recovery and an advisor for the Hulu miniseries, Dopesick. With his background as an internal medicine physician and someone in recovery since 2004, Dr. Lloyd brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table.
They dive into the heart of addiction, exploring how childhood trauma and decreased dopamine levels are interconnected. Dr. Lloyd shares his journey, including the moment he first realized help was available, and discusses his work with Cedar Recovery and the Tennessee Drug Court. He also tackles the ongoing debate: is alcoholism an allergy, a disease, or a disorder? Through this conversation, listeners gain a deeper understanding of the importance of addressing underlying trauma in the path to recovery.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights and compassionate care strategies that could make all the difference.
