"Did You Know... Childhood Trauma Increases the Risk of Addiction"

In this eye-opening episode, we explore the powerful link between early life trauma and addiction. Unresolved childhood experiences—like abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction—can leave lasting imprints on the brain and body, increasing vulnerability to substance use as a coping mechanism. This isn’t about blame—it’s about understanding the why behind the what. When we recognize how trauma shapes behavior, we can start to replace shame with empathy and build bridges to healing. Join us as we uncover how the wounds of the past can influence the battles of today—and how recovery begins with being seen, heard, and healed.
