Your struggle with addiction or food is not your fault. It's a normal response to growing up in a crazy home, and that you can heal and you're not broken, you're not bad or unlovable.
What if your battle with addiction is rooted in something deeper, like untreated trauma? In this compelling episode of 'Beat Your Addictions', John Giordano sits down with Mary Giuliani, a Master Certified Coach and author, to unpack this very idea. Mary’s new book, 'It's Not About Food, Drugs, or Alcohol: It's About Healing Complex PTSD', weaves together her personal memoir, scientific research, and practical advice for those grappling with complex trauma and addiction.
Raised in a chaotic alcoholic home, Mary discovered mid-life that her struggles with relationships, health, and various addictions were tied to Complex PTSD. This realization led her on a five-year quest to find the most effective treatments for healing. She delved into the realms of neuroscience, developmental psychology, and addiction medicine, all to understand how trauma impacts the mind and body.
John Giordano adds his own expertise on the medical aspects of depression and anxiety, illuminating how these conditions often intertwine with addiction. The episode covers a broad spectrum of topics, from innovative trauma therapies to the detrimental role of stigma in recovery. By sharing their knowledge and personal stories, Mary and John offer listeners a holistic approach to healing that goes beyond mere abstinence.
Whether you’re struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a compassionate and insightful look at the journey to recovery.
