Addiction: 'It's hard to get enough of something that almost works' (with Dr Roby Ables)
Awe in Trauma07/21/22 • 62 min
This episode is with the soulful Dr Roby Ables, Psychotherapist, and Senior Brainspotting Trainer based in Australia. Have you every wondered:
How addiction attracts so much shame?
What’s trauma got to do with addiction?
When addiction 'works'?
Is there a connection between addiction to drugs, alcohol, porn, shopping and eating issues
How can love and conscious awareness really help in healing trauma and pain?
To answer these questions, Roby is incredibly generous in sharing her personal experiences of intergenerational trauma, early life attachment wounds and her subsequent journey through addiction and into many years of recovery. It is so enthralling to hear how addiction became her guide into her healing and how trust, faith and incredible spiritual transcendence uplifted her at a time of great distress. Here we learn about the significance of trauma in addiction patterns and the multi layers of inter and intrapersonal connections that are central on the path of healing. Throughout we can hear the importance of the soul in healing addiction and associated mental health problems as Roby personifies the power of relational healing through Brainspotting Therapy and the potential of plant based medicine.
