I think one of the things that so many people struggle with, especially with addiction, is a lot of people who have addiction as an issue have trauma in the background, kind of flowing and causing havoc in their life.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in healing past trauma? In this compelling episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', Dr. Don Wood, founder of the Inspired Performance Institute, sits down with host Duane Osterlind to explore this very idea. Dr. Wood believes that trauma, whether big or small, can create glitches in our minds that lead to addictive behaviors.
He explains how our subconscious mind, which operates in the present, often gets stuck in a loop of traumatic memories, causing us to react to past events as if they are happening now. This constant state of hyper-vigilance can make it incredibly difficult to break free from addiction. But there's hope. Dr. Wood shares his groundbreaking approach to reprocessing trauma, helping individuals update their mental 'software' and eliminate these harmful loops.
By addressing the root cause of trauma, people can reduce their hyper-vigilance and find a pathway to recovery. Throughout the episode, Dr. Wood emphasizes the importance of sharing experiences and seeking support. He believes that talking about trauma and addiction can provide new insights and a sense of community, making the recovery journey less isolating.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice on how to heal from trauma and move forward. Tune in to 'The Addicted Mind Podcast' for an enlightening conversation that could be the first step towards lasting recovery.
