Untangling Trauma and Addiction: Insights from Everyday Addict

Untreated trauma can lead to substance use and abuse issues. So many things can cause us to feel nothing or to feel everything.
Have you ever wondered how past trauma can shape one's journey into addiction? In this episode of 'Everyday Addict', host Brian Ario dives deep into the intricate connection between trauma and substance abuse. Trauma isn't just limited to veterans or those who have witnessed horrific events; it can stem from various life experiences and affect anyone, anywhere.
When left unchecked, trauma often morphs into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), leading individuals to seek solace in substances, a path that only complicates their struggles further. Brian brings his expertise as an addiction counselor to the table, offering a compassionate yet informative discussion on why addressing trauma head-on is crucial for recovery. He sheds light on how untreated trauma not only fuels addiction but also wreaks havoc on mental health, contributing to anxiety, depression, and poor decision-making.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or those who wish to understand the profound impact of trauma on mental well-being. Tune in for practical advice, heartfelt stories, and a deeper understanding of why healing from trauma is essential for a sober and fulfilling life.
