Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
Hello, welcome to the podcast of health and healing in the areas of addiction and abuse, with Michael. My passion and interest started with becoming aware that many of us have childhood traumas that we carry into our adult lives, but we didn't have them addressed or never acknowledged that we had an addiction or a mental illness. Some of the abuses, we suffered were slight or verbal that we just wrote off, other abuses were kept in secret for many years. Now we want to expose those lie-based beliefs, through tools and partnering with the Holy Spirit to help us heal those traumas and Illnesses to become whole. Hurt people hurt people, so we must seek ways to heal so that we can assist others in their healing processes. Disclaimer: * I am not a doctor or professional therapist. However, I am licensed and an ordained Minister, who's interest was piqued as it related to my personal journey and struggles with addictions and abuses that found their way into every aspect of my life unknowingly. God knows I'm a work in progress. Come along as we heal together.
Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
The Legacy of Trauma and Addiction Pt.2
As we will see, trauma changes a person's personality. It's characterized by:
* A loss of capacity to use community support.
* Chronic recurrent depression with feelings of despair.
* Emotional anesthesia or blocked ability to react affectively.
* Alexithymia, or inability to recognize and make use of emotional reactions.
The list of secondary reactions to psychological trauma includes emotional construction, sensational-seeking reenactment, and drug and alcohol abuse. This affects children and adults alike, and if not dealt with, our children will carry these traumas and behaviors into adulthood. Go with me as we look deeper into the health and healing dealing with trauma and addiction. P.T. 2 Trauma is being talked about more these days. Because of emotions, feelings, and behaviors that are growing in society, it is becoming popular to blame instead of taking responsibility for one's actions. Unfortunately, there aren't enough therapists to take on and tackle these issues. Listening and applying these tools and methods will help to recognize the problems, work on the issues, and heal from the application, which is my desire.
Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral physical and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. It is okay to ask for help.
