Most of us have gotten at least a little emotional at some point recently. It’s natural. But why do we have emotions and how much should we pay attention to them on any given day?

Tom Gonzalez, an expert in Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), joins us as we discuss trauma and the relationship with addiction. Persons with the disease of addiction often find substance to be a way to cope with "the emotional pain from a trauma that was likely done to me." He discusses how the medical model of addiction misses a huge component that often led to the substance use disorder starting. Tom states, "addiction is really the result of broken relationships" which then alters our brain pathways, specifically those related to fight/flight responses. So how does one heal and overcome these traumas? For anyone struggling with their addiction and the 'why', you don't want to miss this. And if you are a loved one, or someone who is caring for someone who has an addiction, this topic and discussion may break down the barriers and lead to a better understanding.
