Healing from Trauma: Terence Gorski's Guide to Safety and Serenity

We need to work through the pain and trauma of our past, because they're not going away. The more we accept our memories as part of our history, the more we can talk about them and the less power they'll have over us.
Imagine trying to move forward in life while carrying the heavy burden of past traumas. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', Terence Gorski sheds light on how to find safety, serenity, and freedom from the emotional wounds that often accompany addiction. Drawing from his book 'Passages through Recovery', Gorski outlines six stages of recovery and provides practical advice for navigating each one.
He dives deep into the effects of repressed memories and emphasizes the importance of processing these emotions in a supportive environment. By sharing our stories and listening to others, we can begin to heal. Gorski also discusses the rebound stage, where long-suppressed emotions resurface, and highlights the benefits of counseling and support groups in this process.
He offers four actionable steps to resolve traumatic memories: sharing our experiences, engaging in therapy, participating in the 12-step program, and creating a safe space for honest conversations. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with the pain of their past, providing tools and insights to help you move toward a future filled with freedom and happiness.
