How Childhood Trauma Influences Addiction
With Noah Mugenyi, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Bellwood Health Services
Trauma is thought to result from an event or multiple events that an individual experiences as emotionally or physically harmful. These experiences have lasting effects on the individual’s wellbeing. One of the leading causes of developing addiction later in adult life is childhood trauma.
