OPC 058: Identifying the Underlying Trauma of Addiction PART 1 with Laura Parent

Often, we think that our addictions are the only problem. Many of us can relate to thinking that if we could just beat our addictions, then we would be okay. This type of thinking fails to address the underlying issues that create a desire to escape our emotions in the first place. Once our problem with substances is solved, we can be left feeling like something is still missing.
