Addiction & Trauma: A Polyvagal Approach for Therapists

In our last Trauma Wisdom Circle session, Jan Winhall shared a powerful insight: addiction is not just a behavioral issue—it’s a neurobiological response to trauma. Traditional top-down approaches often fail because they don’t address safety in the nervous system. 💡 Join us: https://therapywisdom.com/the-trauma-...

Understanding addiction through the lens of trauma and the nervous system can transform the way therapists approach treatment. In this insightful talk, Jan Winhall explains why addiction is an adaptive survival strategy and why traditional, top-down approaches often fail. Discover how somatic and polyvagal interventions can create safety, reduce harm, and foster real healing for clients struggling with addiction.
