This is a republishing of an archived episode with Adena Bank Lees.

"There is a God and I’m not it."
-Twelve-step saying.

Adena Bank Lees, LCSW, LISAC, BCETS, CP is an internationally recognized speaker, author, trainer and consultant, providing a fresh and important look at addiction treatment, traumatic stress and recovery. She has provided more than 1000 workshops for professionals around the world on topics related to childhood abuse, PTSD, eating and substance use disorders, other addictions and related mental health issues. Her specialty is childhood sexual abuse, in particular, covert emotional incest.

Adena’s lectures, workshops and presentations are lively, informative, engaging and current.
Participants say they are moved by the integration of information that makes sense to them, sometimes for the very first time. Being introduced to covert emotional incest is often the most powerful and life changing piece participants claim to walk away with.
