EPISODE 040326

In this episode of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund explored the powerful connection between trauma and addiction in a discussion titled “Coping with Trauma in Recovery.” They examined expert perspectives suggesting that trauma is one of the leading causes of substance use, and reflected on how many individuals in recovery have experienced some form of trauma—whether recognized or not. The conversation encouraged listeners to look back on their own lives and consider how difficult or painful experiences at home or elsewhere may have influenced their path toward drugs or alcohol, while also emphasizing the importance of awareness and healing as part of the recovery journey.
