Summary

So many of us struggle with addiction of some kind. But the topic is still shrouded in secrecy and shame, leaving so many people feeling alone or lost in how to begin their healing. This week, I have my dear friend and human behaviour expert, Jaime Jenkins to join me on the show. Jaime and I walk through the relationship between shame, trauma and addiction. We unpack how we can move from feeling alone and detached from our experiences, toward feeling connected and in control of our journey. And, how we can shift from avoidance and denial of our pain, toward feeling and owning our own journey.

Jaime Booth Jenkins BSW MAPP is a human behaviour change specialist and addictions researcher. She is currently completing her MSc Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health focusing on the experience of flourishing after addiction. Her work focuses on helping people to overcome internal obstacles that are preventing them from achieving their ultimate goals and dreams. She sits as the Chair of the Board of Directors for Make Music Matter - and believes in the power of music to change the world. She lives in Nova Scotia Canada with her husband, dog, two daughters, and quite a few chickens.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Mark Groves. I'm a human connection specialist and founder of Create the Love.
0:11.2	At an early point in my life, I became obsessed with understanding relationships, the intricacies
0:16.4	of how people connect. And through this exploration, I have created a life in a business dedicated
0:21.9	to learning out loud and exploring how we interact with each other in the world.
0:27.3	This podcast brings the world's top thought leader, spiritual luminaries, physician,
0:31.6	scientists, researchers, best-selling authors and health and wellness experts under one
0:36.2	roof to discuss the good, the bad, the messy, and of course the beautiful parts of the human
0:41.9	experience.
0:43.1	Welcome to the Mark Groves podcast. I can't wait to dive in with you.
0:50.9	Hello, welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast.
0:56.2	I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the irony that as a kid, I was told I talk
1:02.3	too much and now I have a podcast. And that what we often were criticized for as children
1:09.0	can actually be the source of our superpowers. You know, like not saying my podcasting is
1:14.5	super power. But I got a lot of the way that I, I would say, dealt with emotional pain
1:25.0	was to surround myself with lots of people, was to be busy, was to be funny, was to not
1:31.6	allow people to see behind my smile. I often got asked, dear teeth ever get dry because
1:38.6	you smile so much. And I was like, licked my teeth and I'm like, yeah, they actually do.
1:44.8	As I've gotten older and I did things like an undergrad in finance, which I didn't even
1:49.5	want to do, that I like followed these stories and narratives that you're taught to follow.
1:57.4	And it's, there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, that's the thing is a lot of my experiences
2:03.7	were still positive. They were still, although I didn't enjoy my undergrad, my finance
2:09.8	degree, I enjoyed being in a community and being in university, which is obviously a privilege.
