#156: What Is Covert Incest And How Has It Affected My Addiction?

Caller Claire's Question: "I am 8 months into recovery and doing really well. Can you discuss the difference between PTSD, anxiety and shame and how they manifest in the body? I am still not fully processing these things consciously due to my addict reaction to bury and run from hard emotions. This leaves me vulnerable to relapse, something I came close to doing a few weeks ago. What is the best way to face and process these?"
