Episode Addiction as a Family Disease Cover

Addiction as a Family Disease

Therapist couple Patty and Cam explore addiction not just as a substance problem, but as a whole-family disease rooted in attachment wounds and generational patterns. Using a fictional family — John (alcohol use disorder), his wife Sally, and their two kids — they walk through John's story using three frameworks: * The Laundry List (Adult Children of Alcoholics' 14 traits) * Attachment Theory – how early emotional neglect shapes adult behavior * EMDR's four themes – particularly defectiveness ("I don't matter") as the core driver of John's drinking Key Takeaways * Addiction is a symptom of deeper emotional pain, not the core problem * Treating only the substance use disorder misses the underlying attachment wounds * Shame, hyper-independence, and emotional shutdown are generational patterns * Blaming the addict perpetuates the very shame driving the behavior * Healing is possible — neuroplasticity allows new connection pathways to be built * The whole family system is affected; recovery requires the whole system to heal Visit our Website and Follow us on Instagram! website: https://www.insightandconnection.com/ instagram: @centerforinsightandconnection [https://www.instagram.com/centerforinsightandconnection/] Show notes and Mixed By NEXT DAY PODCAST [https://www.nextdaypodcast.com]
