Trauma is not just a psychological experience; it is also stored in the body. When we go through distressing events, our nervous system responds by holding onto that stress, often manifesting in physical and emotional symptoms.

Attachment theory provides a powerful framework for understanding human relationships and how early life experiences shape our emotional and psychological development. This framework has become increasingly significant in addiction treatment, as research reveals strong connections between trauma, attachment styles, and the development of substance use disorders.
A key part of the recovery process, not just during treatment but after as well, is self-awareness. Recovery from addiction is a momentous occasion full of transformation and self-reflection, and at the heart of that self-reflection is the ability to learn and grow from past transgressions, which is where self-awareness comes into the equation.
