Joining the discussion is Lori Bachman, Executive Director of Meadows Texas at Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, who provides valuable insights and expert commentary on Deena's experiences. Deena's battle with substance abuse reached new heights after a cross-country move from Florida to Alaska, where she confronted a series of life-changing challenges. The heartbreaking loss of her mother to cystic fibrosis, combined with an unhealthy relationship and escalating work stress, fueled Deena's descent into heavy drinking and alcohol dependence. As her alcoholism spiraled out of control, Deena's physical and mental well-being deteriorated rapidly. Severe alcohol poisoning, multiple hospitalizations, and brushes with death served as startling wake-up calls. Despite attempts to quit drinking independently, Deena acknowledged that professional addiction treatment was her only path to survival. Lori Bachman emphasizes the significance of Deena's decision to seek help, noting that it is a critical step in the recovery process. She highlights the importance of addressing underlying traumas and developing healthy coping mechanisms in a supportive, therapeutic environment like Meadows Behavioral Healthcare. With the steadfast support of friends and a dedicated therapist, Deena made the life-altering choice to enter a 40-day rehab program at Meadows Texas. During her stay, she embarked on the challenging work of confronting past traumas, acquiring essential coping skills, and establishing a solid foundation for enduring recovery. Embracing her newfound sobriety, Deena courageously chose to leave Alaska and embark on a new chapter in Texas. In a remarkable turn of events, she now works at the very treatment center that facilitated her own recovery, utilizing her lived experience to motivate and support others on their healing journeys. Lori Bachman underscores the power of Deena's story, emphasizing how her journey from addiction to recovery can serve as a beacon of hope for individuals struggling with substance use disorders and mental health issues.

    Deena Harless: Childhood Trauma to Adulthood Struggles (Part 1)

    This episode shares the story of Deena Harless. We explore lasting effects of childhood trauma and family dysfunction. With expert insights from Eyerusalem Mulatu, the Director of Outpatient at The Meadows in Houston, Texas, the episode explores the complex dynamics of Deena's journey from a troubled childhood to a resilient adulthood.   Deena's story begins with a seemingly stable military family life until her parents' divorce when she was eight years old. This event marked the start of a turbulent childhood filled with instability, neglect, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. As Deena's mother, who battled cystic fibrosis, worked multiple jobs and began to act erratically, Deena felt increasingly disconnected and sought attention through acting out in school.   Eyerusalem Mulatu highlights the significance of Deena's experiences, noting that the sudden upheaval and lack of communication during her parents' divorce likely contributed to her feelings of disconnection and need for attention. Mulatu emphasizes the importance of providing children with emotional support and healthy coping strategies during times of family crisis.   Despite finding solace in sports, Deena began experimenting with alcohol in high school and became pregnant later in college. She hid her pregnancy from everyone except the baby's father, ultimately giving birth to her son Austin in a traumatic delivery. Mulatu points out that the lack of support and shame surrounding Deena's pregnancy likely contributed to her feelings of isolation and the development of unhealthy coping mechanisms.   As a young single mother, Deena faced numerous challenges, including an overbearing mother who controlled her life choices and finances. Mulatu explains that this dynamic is not uncommon in families with a history of dysfunction, as parents may attempt to overcompensate for past instability by exerting control over their adult children's lives.   Through a series of difficult relationships, marriages, and divorces, Deena struggled to break free from the cycle of instability and unhealthy behaviors rooted in her childhood experiences. Mulatu emphasizes the significance of addressing childhood trauma and family dysfunction to prevent the development of unhealthy coping mechanisms and promote healing.   A turning point in Deena's journey came when she and her new husband received military orders to move to Alaska, forcing her to confront life away from her family's influence for the first time. Mulatu notes that this distance may have provided Deena with the space necessary to begin processing her experiences and working towards recovery.   Deena's story serves as a powerful reminder to behavioral health professionals of the lasting impact of childhood experiences on mental health and the importance of providing trauma-informed care. Mulatu stresses the need for early intervention, support, and resources for individuals and families affected by trauma, addiction, and dysfunction.   Key Takeaways:   1. Childhood trauma and family dysfunction can have lasting effects on mental health and lead to the development of unhealthy coping mechanisms.   2. Lack of communication and emotional support during family crises can contribute to feelings of disconnection and attention-seeking behaviors in children.   3. Shame and lack of support surrounding teenage pregnancy can exacerbate feelings of isolation and lead to the development of unhealthy coping strategies.   4. Overcompensation for past instability in families with a history of dysfunction may manifest as controlling behaviors in parents towards their adult children.   5. Addressing childhood trauma and family dysfunction is crucial in preventing the development of unhealthy coping mechanisms and promoting healing.   6. Physical distance from family influence can provide the space necessary for individuals to process their experiences and work towards recovery.   7. Trauma-informed care

The episode features insights from Scott Davis, Executive Director of Gentle Path at Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, a leading treatment center specializing in sex addiction recovery. This raw and honest account sheds light on the complexities of behavioral health issues, particularly sex addiction, and the power of seeking help through a specialized treatment program.   Scott's addiction stemmed from a tumultuous childhood marked by his parents, leading him to hide his emotions and keep secrets from a young age. As an adult, Scott's wife discovered his infidelity through his iPad and connected devices, forcing him to confront the truth and seek help. With the support of his brother and a friend who had undergone treatment, Scott entered Gentle Path, where he began his journey towards sobriety.   Throughout the episode, Scott Davis provides expert commentary on the nature of sex addiction and the importance of comprehensive treatment. He explains that sex addiction, like other behavioral health issues, is characterized by a highly ritualized pattern of behavior that interferes with daily life and relationships. Davis emphasizes the need for public education to combat the stigma surrounding sex addiction and to encourage those struggling to seek help.   Scott Plumb's journey highlights the significance of connection and support in recovery. Engaging with others who understood his struggle was pivotal in his healing process. Following the advice of Patrick Carnes, a leading expert in sex addiction treatment, Scott retired from his career to fully dedicate himself to recovery. He later became a certified recovery coach to help others facing similar challenges.   However, Scott's path to lasting sobriety was not without obstacles. Even after treatment, he faced bouts of loneliness and depression, questioning the value of recovery. Through introspection, Scott realized that true healing required him to practice self-love and forgiveness. He learned that recovery is an ongoing, non-linear journey that demands continuous effort and self-awareness.   Key Takeaways:   1. Confronting Secrets is Essential for Sex Addiction Recovery Scott Plumb's story emphasizes the role secrets play in perpetuating sex addiction and the importance of confronting them to begin the journey towards sobriety. Seeking help and being honest about one's struggles is a crucial first step in the recovery process.   2.
