Description

Unresolved and untreated childhood trauma from a shame-based family is a primary cause of addictions and continued relapses. Self-medicating with substances (food, alcohol, drugs), or behaviors (sex addiction, love addiction, relationship addiction, internet porn addiction, codependency) only hides the pain. We then enter a downward spiral of toxic shame, trauma re-enactment, and addictions to help us cope with our pain. But, this is hope. We can learn the Emotional Wisdom to guide us through our Emotional Minefield in our relationships to free ourselves from this deadly cycle.

Gary Tartaglia, Ph.D., LCSW, CADC II is a licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience providing psychotherapy for addicts in recovery and other self-destructive behaviors. He has helped hundreds of clients free themselves from being stuck in the cycle of toxic shame, trauma pain and addictions. He is the Relationship Navigator who can help you get the love and happiness you deserve!
