I feel like everybody that goes through drug addiction, they eventually get to that point.
Ever wondered how music can be a lifeline in the darkest times? In this episode of the 'Trauma Informed Podcast', licensed psychotherapist Jeff Friedman sits down with Aspen and Ren, a Soundcloud rap duo from Seattle. Aspen opens up about his harrowing experiences with drug addiction and homelessness, and how finding his musical partner, Ren, became a turning point in his life. The duo's bond goes beyond music, delving into the realms of mutual support and understanding.
They discuss harm reduction, a compassionate approach to addiction treatment that focuses on minimizing the negative impacts of drug use. This conversation isn't just about struggles; it's about resilience and the power of human connection. Through their stories, Aspen and Ren highlight the importance of trauma-informed practices in recovery, offering hope to those battling similar demons.
This episode is a raw and real exploration of how trauma and addiction intersect, and how recovery is possible through empathy, support, and a bit of creative expression.
