Healing Through Connection: Dr. Dawn Nickel's Journey with SHE RECOVERS
“We need to show up as our full selves and be able to talk about any of those things and to choose how and in what order we wanted to heal them, and to choose the modalities and the programs and the whatever was available evidence formed, informed or not, we should be able to choose how we heal and how we kind of go on that journey back to ourselves.”
What does it mean to truly recover? In this episode, Dr. Tiffany Wynn sits down with Dr. Dawn Nickel, the co-founder of the SHE RECOVERS Foundation, to explore this question. Dr. Nickel shares her deeply personal story of overcoming substance use disorder, codependency, and intergenerational trauma. Her journey is not just about personal healing but also about creating an inclusive recovery community for women and non-binary individuals facing similar challenges.
The conversation delves into the origins of the SHE RECOVERS Foundation, born from Dr. Nickel's desire to find a supportive space for recovery that welcomes everyone. They discuss the importance of 'recovering out loud', redefining what recovery means, and why identity-based support is crucial in today's world. Dr. Tiffany also reads a poignant meditation from Dr.
Nickel's book 'She Recovers Everyday', touching on the sensitive topic of infant loss and how community and connection can help us heal from life's most painful experiences. This episode is a heartfelt discussion on the power of storytelling in breaking down stigma and fostering a sense of belonging. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights and a sense of hope.
