128. How Unresolved Trauma Controls Your Life

from The Unbroken With Sam Davis · host Man Road Media

Most people think recovery is about stopping substances. But what happens when the substances are gone… and the chaos is still there? In this episode, I sit down with Sabyn Mayfield, CEO of The Bridge to Recovery, to talk about something most people miss: Trauma is often the real driver behind addiction, anxiety, and feeling stuck in life. We break down: Why people can be sober and still miserable How unresolved trauma shows up in relationships, careers, and daily life The difference between “treatment” and true healing Why so many people relapse (even after doing everything “right”) What an immersive trauma program actually looks like Why this work isn’t just for addicted individuals—it’s for families too This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience. I’ve been to The Bridge. My son has been to The Bridge. And what happens there is different. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like something deeper is running the show… this conversation will connect the dots.
