Getting sober is one thing. Building a life that genuinely sustains recovery is another. Trauma and recovery are deeply intertwined — once the substance is gone, the pain it was managing often comes forward. I use EMDR to process the underlying trauma driving addictive patterns — addressing the root, not just the behavior. For many, this also opens spiritual questions: Who am I now? What is my life for?
