Healing Through Connection: Trauma, Substance Abuse, and Fellowship on The Recovery Pod
“Drugs are not a trauma relief, it is a trauma denier. We don't understand the concept of okay, let us feel all this energy flow, this the feelings you know, just kind of let them pass through our bodies and, just you know, learn our emotions and how to cope like, no, we want it to go away, because it's terrible, it is awful, and we can't stop trying to make it go away, because it's the only thing that works for the time being, and you can only think about the now.”
In this heartfelt episode of The Recovery Pod, Steven and his friend Kammie tackle the profound effects of trauma and substance abuse.
