The Addiction & Trauma Connection
Vince and Jeanna talk about the inspiration for the project that launched their collaboration: a book about childhood sexual abuse and addiction recovery to help 12-Step sponsors who discover their sponsee is a child abuse survivor. Vince shares two experiences in which AA members struggled with telling their story because it involved childhood sex abuse.
Other highlights in this episode include discussion on:
- Shame and the child.
- How drugs and alcohol feed the relapse cycle.
- What the sponsor will need to know about the abuse survivor and their recovery.
