About this ebook
Trauma Connection explores the profound relationship between unresolved trauma and addiction, viewing addiction not as a moral failing but as a coping mechanism rooted in traumatic experiences.
Highlighting the neurobiological impact of trauma, the book details how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can significantly increase vulnerability to substance use and addictive behaviors later in life.
It also elucidates the potential of trauma-informed care to foster genuine healing and lasting addiction recovery, emphasizing that addressing the root causes of addiction, rather than merely treating the symptoms, leads to more sustainable outcomes.

The book progresses systematically, first defining trauma and addiction separately before exploring their intersection through attachment theory, neurobiology, and psychological defense mechanisms.
It then delves into specific types of trauma and their unique pathways to addiction.
Later sections detail various trauma-informed therapeutic approaches, providing practical guidance on implementing these strategies.
Trauma Connection uniquely integrates scientific research, practical therapeutic techniques, and personal narratives, making it a valuable resource for mental health professionals, individuals in recovery, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the trauma and addiction connection.
