Trauma and addiction in general come a lot of cognitive distortions, and patients will feel guilt and shame for their trauma, whether or not I mean even if it happened when they were a child.
Ever wondered how trauma and addiction intertwine? In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Radio, therapists Nick Landry and Amanda Kerberny from Retreat at Palm Beach dive into the deep-seated connections between these two challenges. They shed light on how past traumas can shape one's journey through addiction and recovery, making it clear that understanding these links is crucial for effective treatment.
Nick and Amanda discuss various types of trauma, from childhood experiences to more recent events, and how these can manifest as PTSD symptoms. They emphasize the importance of trauma-informed care, which tailors treatment to acknowledge and address these underlying issues. This approach isn't just about treating addiction; it's about healing the whole person. Listeners will also hear about the unique Journey track group at Retreat, which offers specialized support distinct from other tracks.
The therapists explain how guilt and shame often accompany trauma, complicating the recovery process, and share strategies for healthy coping mechanisms. The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the ripple effects of trauma on relationships. Nick and Amanda highlight how dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) can be a powerful tool in helping individuals identify and manage emotions tied to past traumas.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about the topic, this episode offers valuable insights into the complex dance between trauma and addiction. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding and find hope in the process.
