Reparenting Yourself & Reprogramming Your Nervous System: The Graduate School of 12 Step Programs

Welcome back to The Truth About Addiction. Today I get brutally honest about the recent "co-dependency bottom" I hit and what it is forcing me to look at. My dear friend and recovery buddy, Lauren Clayton, take a deep dive into nervous system regulation, inner child work, and ACA-yet another 12 step program that tackles childhood trauma with a beautiful and imperative mix of science, psychotherapy and soulfulness.

The discussion diverges from my normal format-rather than interview someone on a specific topic they are reckoning with in recovery, Lauren and I have a back and forth discussion about the teachings and learnings we have gone through (and are currently going through) to get honest about what hurts, where it comes from, and what we can do about it. 

This talk is not just for the addict-it's for anyone who grew up in or is currently surrounded by dysfunction. It is hopeful and heartfelt. Enjoy!
