Healing Guarded Hearts: Trauma and Emotional Sobriety

All of our behaviors that are emotionally triggered are not consciously chosen. So we can feel so personal when somebody keeps us at arm's length. It's not about you. In fact, a lot of times it's just fear of loss.

Ever wondered why some people keep their friends at arm's length? In this episode of 'Levelheaded Talk', Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero tackle the tough topic of trauma and its impact on emotional sobriety. They dive into a heartfelt discussion about a friend who has endured domestic violence, exploring how such experiences can lead to guardedness in relationships.

With empathy and wisdom, the hosts unpack the behaviors that often emerge from emotional trauma and offer practical advice on how to support loved ones during these challenging times. You'll gain insights into the deep connection between trauma and addiction, and how small victories can make a big difference in the healing process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of trauma and find ways to foster empathy and support in their relationships.
