This addiction group therapy session centered on the deep link between trauma and substance use, explaining how an overwhelmed nervous system causes people to "split off" from their true self, making addiction an easy way to cope with pain. The key takeaway was fostering compassionate support so group members could distinguish their true identity from the destructive actions of their addiction, helping them take responsibility while beginning to heal by connecting to their non-addicted core.

In this haunting meditation, Ruth sits with the collective pain of women represented here by the advocacy work of Virginia Giuffre, Laura Bates, and Cindy Gallop. Through breath, feeling, and presence, she does what the world does not recognize: she holds. This episode is about rage, healing, and long shadow of silence.
