TW: Please note there is discussion of sexual trauma in this podcast, so take care of yourself and your well-being.
This week Mandy is joined by @traumathrivers_loulebentz Lou is a well-known UK therapist, trauma clinician, speaker and Founder of “Trauma Thrivers” a hugely popular Facebook community for those in recovery from trauma, addiction and complex PTSD. Lou worked for over a decade on the addiction treatment programme at the Priory Hospital in Roehampton, and has been “in recovery” for 15 years herself.
This conversation touches on the interconnection between addiction and trauma, how many of us compare or discount our trauma story without compassionately understanding what trauma is and how it shows up in the body as a disregulated nervous system. We talk about Lou’s own story and why she is so passionate about helping people move from surviving to thriving, her new thrivability programme and @besoberandquit up coming Sobriety Breakthrough event.
