Healing Trauma and All Types of Addictions through Connection

Dr. Harris shares a compassionate and inclusive understanding of addiction along with the relationship between trauma and addiction in this dynamic, heart-centered presentation. As a global leader in the field of trauma and addiction, she uses her platform to de-stigmatize addiction by explaining it as our best attempts to cope with pain and suffering and how the solution to addiction is connection. By looking at trauma from a relational perspective, meaning traumas occur in relationship and can be healed in relationship, Dr. Harris explains how so many of us are experiencing ongoing (re)traumatization through isolation, separation, and disconnection at this time. It makes sense that addiction and trauma-related illnesses are on the rise; we are hurting and confused and many of us feel alone and isolated as we move through this most challenging and “unprecedented” time. This presentation will deepen and expand your understanding of addiction and trauma and how disconnection is not only at the root of both, it is through connection that we heal individually and collectively.
