In this video, Don Carter MSW, LCSW, an integrative psychotherapist and author, tackles the often-ignored 'elephants in the living room': depression, anxiety, addiction, and more. His message is clear: healing is a marathon, not a sprint. Carter's own experiences inform his practical advice, offering a unique perspective on recovery.
Carter's six-book series, 'Thawing The Iceberg Series', acts as a guide for those seeking recovery from addiction and chronic depression. He exposes the root causes of emotional wounds, linking them to unmet childhood needs and attachment wounds. When these needs go unfulfilled, it can distort our perception of ourselves, others, and the world around us. The result? A damaging cycle of abandonment, shame, and contempt.
To cope, we create an 'Invented Self', a public image that covers up our private image because the emotional wounds form a free floating mass of pain Carter refers to as the 'False Self'. But the inability to 'go inside' and learn self-soothing skills can lead to addictions and compulsions. As Carter explains, inability to turn inward for comfort fuels a reliance on external sources such as alcohol, food, work, gambling, sex, etc. This is a key hurdle on our path to healing.
But there's hope. Carter's 'Thawing the Iceberg Series' uses neuroscience and therapy to help us become our authentic selves. By addressing emotional triggers and offering relief, the program aims to break the inter-generational cycle of abandonment, shame and contempt. Parents can only give what they've been given, so the cycle continues unless we take steps to intervene.
