How Your Childhood Shapes Your Adult Life
|
Hi Reader, I’m excited to share a new episode of The Addicted Mind+ that’s particularly meaningful to me. Eric and I discuss something incredibly important: the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) study. This groundbreaking research helps explain how difficult experiences in our early years—like abuse, neglect, or family challenges—can have a lasting impact on our mental and physical health as adults. In our conversation, we break down what the study found, discuss how to recognize the long-term effects of trauma (even the hidden kinds), and share practical steps you can take toward healing. It’s a powerful topic, and I think it offers so much hope and understanding. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel or act a certain way, this episode might provide some valuable insights. Warmly, P.S. If you know someone who might find this topic helpful, please feel free to forward it to them or share the link—helping one another is what this is all about! |

But here’s the good news—you don’t have to believe that voice anymore. Using tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we’ll show you how to challenge those thoughts, rewire your brain, and find a more balanced, compassionate way to talk...
Hi Reader, I just published a new episode that I’m really excited to share with you. It’s called Redefining Recovery: Dr. Adi Jaffe’s Journey from Addiction to Empowerment. Dr. Jaffe’s story is incredible. Imagine being caught in the depths of meth addiction and staring down the possibility of prison—then transforming all of that pain into a life filled with purpose and hope. We talked about his deeply personal recovery process, his struggles with traditional recovery programs, and why he...
