Trauma affects more than just the mind—it leaves an imprint on the body, influencing both physical and emotional well-being. According to Shara Turner, Clinical Director at Sabino Recovery, understanding and addressing this mind-body connection is essential for sustainable healing. At Sabino, the focus is on treating the whole person by using trauma-informed care and innovative modalities that help clients reconnect with and regulate their bodies.

In today’s fast-paced world, many individuals find themselves caught in a cycle of unfulfilled relationships, driven by an overwhelming need for connection. For Stacey Gonzales, LAC, CSAT Candidate at Sabino Recovery, this behavior, known as love addiction, is deeply tied to emotional imbalances, trauma, and unmet attachment needs.

Hypersexuality, often misconceived solely as sex addiction, is a condition marked by compulsive sexual behaviors that are frequently accompanied by feelings of shame and guilt. Emerging as a maladaptive response to unresolved trauma, these behaviors can take root in past experiences that leave deep emotional scars.
