Matthew Govier on Healing from Addiction and Trauma: Insights from The First Day Pod

What's traumatic to one person could be a sense of just ease to another person, and this is based off the genetics of resiliency. So I mean that that'll create we we can have. Um, so trauma can happen through a vicarious sense, so you don't even have to witness the actual trauma itself.
When it comes to understanding addiction and trauma, few voices are as experienced as Matthew Govier, a licensed professional counselor with a specialization in addiction treatment. In this episode of 'First Day Pod', hosts Leigh Ann and Mike sit down with Matthew to unpack the intricate layers of addiction and how trauma can affect us, often without our awareness.
They dive deep into the heart of these issues, discussing how trauma can be inherited or experienced indirectly, and the crucial role of resiliency in recovery. Matthew sheds light on the paradoxes within addiction treatment, emphasizing the importance of personal agency and autonomy. The conversation takes a thoughtful turn as they explore vulnerability and the ever-critical inner voice that can either hinder or help one's journey towards meaningful change.
The trio also touches on the importance of community and mutual support in overcoming these challenges. This episode isn't just a discussion; it's a heartfelt conversation filled with practical advice and empathetic understanding. Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the complexities of mental health, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of hope.
