Is the pain and frustration from your family or childhood a reason why you drink? Dr Laura explains how intergenerational trauma is linked to why we drink and more importantly how we cope. In this episode, you will learn what intergenerational trauma is, examples of what it looks and feels like, and how to heal it. We also discuss how alcohol affects our brain and decision-making and how we check out after our first drink, making way for old patterns to take hold and leaving new healthy habits in the dust.
