In the latest episode of 'Sober on Purpose', host Tanya Gioia is joined by Andrea Epting, a seasoned professional in counseling and addiction therapy, to explore the intricate dynamics of healing from betrayal trauma within families. Andrea brings her extensive expertise as a Certified Sex Therapist, EMDR Certified Therapist, and Master Addiction Counselor to provide insights into overcoming betrayal trauma and strengthening familial bonds.
Betrayal trauma, as Andrea explains, is a profound form of abuse that affects individuals psychologically and physiologically, often manifesting in addictive behaviors. It stems from negative core beliefs shaped by past experiences, which dictate how individuals interact with their world and relationships. This episode delves into the complexities of these interactions and offers strategies to alter these patterns positively. One of the key aspects discussed is the importance of establishing healthy boundaries within families.
Andrea emphasizes that families become dysfunctional by accident but require intentional efforts to regain health. Setting boundaries is a pivotal step towards recovery, allowing individuals to break free from destructive cycles and foster healthier relationships. Andrea also highlights the significance of emotional sobriety, which involves addressing the compulsive behaviors that arise once substance abuse is tackled. This aspect of recovery is often overlooked but is critical for achieving long-term healing.
By understanding the underlying causes of behaviors such as sexual compulsivity and mood disorders, individuals can work towards emotional stability. The episode encourages listeners to embark on a purposeful recovery journey, guided by hope and practical strategies. Andrea’s insights and personal stories serve as a beacon for those navigating the challenges of betrayal trauma, offering hope that it is possible to rebuild trust and communication within families.
For those seeking further resources, Andrea’s platform, Lightning in a Bottle, offers workshops and counseling services. Tanya also invites listeners to engage with her community through the Arise From Addiction Facebook group, where shared experiences and support foster hope and healing. In conclusion, this episode is a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to understand and overcome betrayal trauma within the context of family dynamics.
With expert guidance, it is possible to transform pain into growth and rebuild connections with loved ones.
