Listen Later

In this episode of "Sharing Without Shame," host Donna Marston delves into the intricate and often misunderstood world of addiction and recovery, particularly focusing on the familial aspects and generational trauma. Donna begins by reflecting on her journey, highlighting the significance of her first daughter's birth, which coincided with her sober date, marking a profound synchronicity in her life.

Throughout the episode, Donna emphasizes the importance of understanding the cycles of trauma and addiction, not only for the individuals directly affected but also for their families. She discusses how addiction is not merely a personal struggle but a generational issue, often rooted in the trauma experienced by previous generations.
A central theme of the episode is the concept of "meta sobriety," a term Donna coined to describe a state beyond traditional sobriety and recovery. Meta sobriety represents a phase where individuals are no longer defined by their addiction or recovery status but have fully integrated their past traumas and moved beyond the triggers that once controlled them. This phase is about reclaiming their original, unblemished selves, free from the labels of "addict" or "sober." Donna also introduces "Cosmo synthesis," a framework she developed to address trauma comprehensively. This approach considers the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of trauma, aiming to heal the entire being rather than just focusing on the subconscious mind.
