In this episode, Jackie talks about little t traumas that often get missed or minimized in recovery and trauma work. As children growing up in dysfunctional homes we learn to not feel, not trust and not talk. These rules may help us live in our dysfunctional homes growing up, but they create problems in adulthood. Part of our healing is to see, feel, trust and talk about these little t experiences.

We've talked sex, we've talked politics (somewhat), and so we're taking a deeper dive into the last of the big three taboo topics- religion.  Jon and Jackie look at how recovery impacts religious beliefs and practices and spirituality.  There is not a one-size-fits-all description of here- it is such a unique unfolding for everyone- but there are some common themes we see.  Don't be afraid of these potential changes- when you are working on the core of you, you often see the core of you in new ways.

Episode 130: Preparing for Disclosure

Jackie and Jon begin a series on the needed, but often unsettling changes that are byproducts of good recovery.  It would be nice if life just got more peaceful and we got more settled as we get more sober, but the truth is that initially a lot of institutions, relationships, and beliefs get upended and have to resettle as we fundamentally change the way we live.
