Healing from Unprocessed Pain: Overcoming Addiction and Religious Trauma

from Think Unbroken with Michael Unbroken | Childhood Trauma, CPTSD, and Mental Health Recovery · host Michael Anthony

In this episode, I share a compilation featuring a powerful story of overcoming addiction fueled by unprocessed pain and early-life dissociation. The guest talks about the unpredictability of their behavior when consuming alcohol and how it served as a catalyst for unresolved issues. The conversation also explores the traumatic impact of growing up biracial in the Mormon Church and the pressures of religious perfectionism. They highlight the importance of separating religion from spirituality and share their healing journey through therapy, self-love, and mirror work. The discussion further addresses the harmful effects of shame, the significance of emotional management, and the path to self-acceptance and personal growth.************* LINKS & RESOURCES *************Learn how to heal and overcome childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, ptsd, cptsd, higher ACE scores, anxiety, depression, and mental health issues and illness.
