🌿 New Episode Alert: Self-Medicating the Pain: A Trauma-Informed Look at Addiction

Addiction isn’t a moral failure—it’s often a survival response to unresolved trauma. In this week’s episode of Deciphering Growth, we unpack the neuroscience of addiction, how trauma rewires the brain, and why healing requires more than willpower.

Join us as we explore how self-medication—whether through substances, behaviors, or habits—can become a coping mechanism for pain, and what true recovery and nervous system regulation actually look like.

✨ This episode is for anyone who’s struggled, supported someone in recovery, or simply wants a deeper understanding of trauma-informed healing.

🕗 Early access drops tonight (8/5) at 8PM for our Patreon members.
☀️ Public release is 7AM on 8/6 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major listening platforms.
