Dr. Claudia Black, one of the world’s leading experts on
family systems and addiction, reveals the startling connection between the
psychological injuries experienced in childhood and the long-term trauma and
addictive disorders that are destroying families everywhere. In this in-depth
interview, Dr. Black discusses how trauma and addiction literally change the
brain, and why the unspoken effects of these conditions can reverberate for
generations, uprooting family trees and perpetuating both shame and denial.
But, recovery from trauma and addiction is possible, and Dr. Black illuminates
a simple, yet powerful and effective process for both healing and creating a
new narrative for living. This podcast coincides with the release of Claudia
Black's 16th book, 'Unspoken Legacy', a far-ranging examination of how the
combination of addiction and trauma causes family dysfunction and why it's one
of the most potent negative forces in people's lives. Filled with vignettes
highlighting the various causes of trauma, 'Unspoken Legacy' helps readers
understand the physiology and psychology of trauma and how it intersects with
addition. The second half of the book covers the vital process for
self-examination, and gives readers proactive steps for healing, recovery, and
building healthier relationships.
