Overview
This one-day training will explain the link between trauma and addiction.
Almost all of us love or are close to someone that is living with addiction, in fact many of us are experiencing addiction ourselves.
On top of this, we have all experienced some level of trauma where we have had an event that we have given meaning to and that we have felt inescapable from. Throughout our lives we all have unique experiences, those experiences form our map of the world, which doesn’t always match the territory we are navigating. It can be challenging to understand why we and our guests/clients or loved ones behave in certain ways and make the choices that we/they make.
Although we are all very different and our behaviours can be frustrating at times, our responses and behaviours carry important clues about our previous experiences and highlight where we have adapted our behaviour to survive, negate or escape suffering. Although we are unique, we share common responses/reactions and behave in ways that are patterned, programmed and predictable.
