I think the first step for me that I love is just really that most people get a kind of sense of relief from is just to say, I'm having an emotional flashback.
Imagine feeling an overwhelming wave of emotion that seems out of place for the situation at hand. This episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol' dives into exactly that with psychotherapist Jeannie O'Carroll. Host Danni Carr and the How I Quit Alcohol Grads group had the chance to sit down with Jeannie for an eye-opening workshop on Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) and emotional flashbacks.
Jeannie breaks down the differences between PTSD and CPTSD, shedding light on how ongoing emotional neglect during childhood can lead to complex trauma. She also discusses what emotional flashbacks look like and how they can trigger feelings of shame, guilt, or even the urge to drink as a coping mechanism. Drawing on the work of Pete Walker, author of 'CPTSD: From Surviving to Thriving', Jeannie offers practical steps to soothe oneself during these intense moments.
Whether you're dealing with your own trauma or supporting someone who is, this episode provides invaluable insights and strategies for healing.
