Trauma isn't what happens to you.

It's what happens inside you.

It's when you're alone with your pain and sadness,

so you can't process it and move through it.

Is it possible to raise your children without trauma?

Life is inherently painful.

You can't protect children from that nor should you try to. What you can do though

is help them experience it accompanied by a nurturing adult.

All addictive behavior can be traced back to childhood trauma.

That's something you assert.

Not everybody who's traumatized becomes addicted,

but everyone addicted was traumatized.

My major addiction has been to work. The work is so seductive precisely because it's so

appreciated by the world. If I think I'm not enough, then I want more

I'm a validation for the world that I'm enough.

And my wife said to me, look, you've got to realize you're a alcoholic

because I'm not putting up with it anymore.

So we had to make a decision.

I definitely struggle with this problem. In August I had two weeks off and I couldn't be the holiday

dead.

I'm not sure that you want to stay that way

for the rest of your life
