In this episode of the Next Fix podcast, Patrick Doyle shares his harrowing journey from a troubled childhood marked by trauma and addiction to a life dedicated to helping others overcome similar struggles. He discusses the impact of compulsion, the role of trauma in addiction, and the importance of self-value in recovery. Patrick challenges the traditional disease model of addiction, advocating for a value-centered approach to healing. He emphasizes the need for honest conversations about pain and denial, particularly in the context of emotional abuse within faith communities. Through his experiences, Patrick has developed a program called Pathway to Hope, aimed at supporting women in abusive relationships. His book, 'The Death of a Thousand Cuts,' further explores these themes and offers insights into navigating the complexities of emotional abuse and recovery.
