Více o knize

The book explores the complex relationship between unhealed trauma and addiction, highlighting how unresolved distress can lead individuals to numb their pain through various behaviors. It emphasizes that dissociation is a natural response to trauma, often intensified by substances and reinforcing behaviors. The authors argue that the addiction treatment field must better address the connection between trauma and addiction, challenging the prevailing belief that trauma should be avoided in treatment settings. The narrative combines personal insights from teaching and community experiences.
