b'Ostrolenk speaks with Jan Winhall, author of \\u201cTreating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model: A Bottom-Up Approach" (https://www.amazon.com/Treating-Trauma-Addiction-Sense-Polyvagal/dp/0367408120). Winhall details her history with treating trauma and addiction and how she came to understand addiction not as a disease but as a means of coping with trauma. Addition occurs, Winhall explains, naturally when individuals do not feel safe and are unable to socially engage. We also live in cultures that do not support engagement and grounding, which is further detailed within the five stages of oppression in Winhall\\u2019s book. Lastly, Ostrolenk and Winhall discuss practices for transitioning out of fight, flight or freeze states to grounded self-regulated and socially engaged states.\\n\\nTo learn more about Jan Winhall\\u2019s work, visit her website: https://janwinhall.com/.
