If there is a band and the band isn't terrible, the music is terrible.
Ever thought about how trauma can shape one's path to recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', Mike and Nat dive deep into the complexities of PTSD and its impact on addiction. Mike opens up about his own tumultuous journey, from dropping acid at a Grateful Dead concert to grappling with delinquency and substance abuse. His story is raw, real, and filled with unexpected turns that highlight the often-overlooked connection between trauma and addiction.
But it’s not all heavy. The guys bring their signature blend of humor and honesty as they explore how traditional treatments often miss the mark by focusing solely on symptoms rather than root causes. They advocate for a shift in how we approach recovery, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying mental health issues. You'll also hear about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and how it played a crucial role in Mike's healing process.
It's a technique that might just change the way you think about trauma recovery. On top of that, there's a quirky segment on 'Recovery in the News' where they debunk myths about alcohol's health benefits and ponder some weird wonders—like whether that odd thing on the sidewalk is an alien or an embryo. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, insights, and laughs.
Whether you're in the thick of your recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Mike's story is a powerful reminder that hope and healing are always within reach.
