Two crucial issues have caught our attention:
Trauma
Addiction Disorders
It’s vital to understand how these two difficult experiences are connected.
Research demonstrates a history of trauma significantly contributes to the development of substance use and addiction disorders.
Carrie’s eBook provides a better understanding of the link between trauma and addiction disorders. It identifies how difficult life experiences often pave the way for someone to use substances or behaviours as a way to self-medicate.
What you’ll find in Carrie’s informative eBook:
Trauma and its connection to addiction
Trauma is often an unspoken and unacknowledged experience for many who struggle with addiction.
Addiction isn’t “the problem”
Unhealed trauma is the problem. Substance use and addictive behaviours are often a way to manage this problem.
Why people mood-alter
Trauma rattles many aspects of our lives: physical bodies, emotions, thought processes, and sense of self. The more someone experiences these disruptive symptoms, the more likely they will self-medicate.
What happens when we miss this connection?
If we believe choices and behaviours cause addiction, people are less likely to get the tools they need to address the underlying impacts of trauma.
