Gemma Andaya on Mindfulness, Trauma, and Recovery: A Deep Dive
“We've got to be able to see both sides. For the most part- and I think it's helpful just to have these types of conversations with clients, because they're so, and that's part of the pathology, right, is that they're so narrow-minded and rigid and self-blaming.”
What if you could transform your life through mindfulness and understanding trauma? In this episode of the 'Illuminate Recovery Podcast', Gemma Andaya, Executive Director of The Nestled in Las Vegas, Nevada, joins hosts Curt Neider and Shelley Mangum for a heart-to-heart about the intricate connections between trauma, addiction, and recovery.
