Ever wondered how trauma impacts siblings when they uncover a loved one's pain? This episode of 'Addiction Medicine Made Easy' dives into this emotional journey with special guest Keeper Catran-Whitney, author of 'Helplessness: What Happens To Brothers When We Learn Our Sisters Have Been Molested By Our Parents?'. Keeper shares his personal story of grappling with childhood trauma, poverty, and the myriad emotions that arise when a brother learns of his sister's abuse.
The conversation is raw and deeply moving, shedding light on the often overlooked trauma experienced by siblings of abuse survivors. Dr. Casey Grover, the host, facilitates this heart-wrenching discussion, making it clear how intertwined trauma and addiction can be. You'll hear about Keeper's experiences growing up in a turbulent household, witnessing his mother's abuse, and later discovering the sexual abuse of his sisters.
He also opens up about his own abuse by a babysitter, an experience he didn't fully recognise as traumatic until much later in life. The episode touches on the importance of recognising trauma, seeking support, and starting the healing process. Keeper's candid reflections provide a unique perspective on the complexities of trauma and its lasting impact. If you're looking for an honest and compassionate discussion on trauma and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
