Trauma resolution ‐ the key to addiction treatment

Abstract

The concept of trauma first came to light as far back as the First World War, when soldiers returned from the battlefield with debilitating shell shock. Things have moved on since then, and trauma is being recognised within the addiction field. Charlie Shults of Life Works, talks about his approach to treatment and argues for a trauma approach to all addiction therapies.
