Finding pleasurable, enjoyable activities can be difficult for those who are in recovery from trauma and addiction. In this episode, we will unpack exactly why that is, and how you can get started finding the things in life that light you up and make you feel good.
Things covered in this episode:
- How addiction is merely a symptom of underlying trauma, and addictions outside of alcohol or drug abuse that we often don't think of as addictions
- Why it is difficult for those who have experienced trauma to find enjoyment in everyday healthy activities
- Why money and time are NOT the biggest prohibiting factors in this, and what is instead
- How to get started with healthy, enjoyable activities and hobbies if you are in recovery from trauma, addiction, or codependency
- Some examples of accessible and cost-effective healthy activities you can do when you give up an addiction or compulsion to help you find yourself, find enjoyment, and heal
