Rather than looking at the symptom, which is the addiction, I like to look at the root, the pain, the way that we cope with pain.
Ever wondered what really fuels addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Hungry for Answers', host Robin H. Clare sits down with Hope Payson, a filmmaker, social worker, and addictions counselor, to tackle this pressing issue head-on. Hope is the producer of the documentary 'Uprooting Addiction: Healing from the Ground Up', which examines the national drug addiction crisis through the stories of six diverse individuals who have faced both addiction and childhood trauma.
Together, Robin and Hope explore the notion that our society is dealing with a pain epidemic rather than just a substance epidemic. They discuss how unhealed trauma often manifests as addiction and emphasize the importance of addressing the root causes of suffering rather than just its symptoms. Through candid conversations, they shed light on the roles of shame, vulnerability, and community support in the recovery process. They also touch on the impact of language and conscious parenting in healing journeys.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of addiction and recovery, offering compassionate insights and practical advice to help you or your loved ones on the path to healing.
