Listen "Little Parents 2: Family Alcoholism & Environment"

Episode Synopsis

The struggle with addiction and sobriety often has deeper roots than mere genetics—a revelation I'm eager to share with you. By using the teachings of renowned Dr. Gabor Maté, we dissect how the environments we grow up in and the personal perceptions we develop can profoundly influence our relationship with substances. My own narrative intertwines with Dr. Maté's expertise to illuminate the emotional and cultural legacies that are just as significant as DNA in shaping our paths. Through this week's episode, we embark on a transformative journey, equipped with not just knowledge but also practical weekly exercises to reshape our thought patterns and set the stage for lasting change.









Peeling back the layers of childhood, this episode dives into the significance of emotional regulation and how it lays the groundwork for adult coping strategies. A stable household doesn't always translate to a functional emotional upbringing—something I've learned both through personal experiences and Dr. Maté's insights. We explore the intricate ways in which our parents' challenges and the nuances of everyday interactions can lead us toward substance-seeking behaviors. The conversation is more than an analysis; it's an invitation to acknowledge, sit with, and navigate through our feelings, fostering healthier emotional management and self-esteem. Join us as we unravel the complexities of childhood trauma, aiming for healing and the empowerment that comes from understanding our histories. This is more than a discussion; it's a stepping stone to personal transformation.
