Combat Vet’s Memoir Looks Candidly at Substance Abuse, PTSD and Healing

Welcome to the podcast. In case you’re new here, my name is Arlina and I’ll be your host.   Before we jump in, I am going to ask for your help. We have been really lucky to get some amazing guests, and I have a whole list of dream guests that I would love to invite. Experts that are in psychology, trauma therapy, spirituality, but also high profile guests like in sports, movies, and other podcasts.   But in order to get certain guests, we need to have a significant following and a lot of 5 star reviews. It’s the first thing they look at. So if you could take a moment to either leave a review on Apple Podcasts if that’s how you’re listening, or just follow me on Instagram @arlinaallen it would then allow me to get a better response rate. Or shoot, if there’s someone you know who would be a great guest, you can reach out to me on IG for that too. Reach out to me anyway and say hi! I would love to hear from you! And as always, there are several free resources at soberlifesc...

He is a licensed therapist, Coach, Speaker and Author of "Get Past Your Past, How Facing Your Broken Places Leads to True Connection". I had so much fun talking with Jason, he’s actually really funny, but we also covered a lot of ground in terms of finding practical solutions to the challenges a lot of us face in recovery.   We’re going to talk about why we replicate our family of origin, how to forgive your parents, and how to build confidence. We also talk about relationship dynamics and how to move from dysfunctional roles like being the rescuer, the victim, or the bully to being the coach, the survivor and the encourager. The framework is actually very practical and can shift your perspect...
