hope and healing; how my son’s substance use became trauma within me, The Work IN podcast

The neurologist just kept coming into his room saying, “this can't be possible, that he’s alive and that he's functioning, and his EEGs are coming back normal.” So, I consider myself the luckiest mom in the world. So I feel like I need to use that experience to help other parents who are going through that, whether you've just found a little bit of marijuana in your kid’s backpack or an empty bottle of vodka in their room, to, I've got a kid on the streets, who's doing heroin. It all becomes trauma in our bodies.
