Healing Trauma in Recovery: Insights from Dr. Jamie Marich

When we haven't dealt with our own trauma and our own wounding, we can do a lot of just scratch-the-surface type of recovery, like okay, don't drink, go to meetings and you end up kind of spewing onto others these things that have maybe worked for you to stay sober, but they may not have worked for you to really be well and heal at a very deep level.

Ever wondered how trauma impacts recovery? Veronica Valli sits down with Dr. Jamie Marich, a seasoned trauma therapist and recovery advocate, to discuss her new book, 'Trauma and the 12 Steps'. They dive into the complexities of how traditional 12-step programs can both aid and hinder those dealing with past traumas. Dr. Marich shares her wealth of experience, highlighting the importance of trauma-informed care and offering practical advice on making the 12 steps more trauma-sensitive.

She also touches on the roles of religion, spirituality, and sponsorship in the recovery journey, and stresses the need for diversity and inclusivity in recovery spaces. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone navigating recovery while grappling with trauma.
