About this episode
Dr. Eddie Capparucci discusses the impact of childhood wounds on adult behavior and healing in the context of betrayal trauma and addiction recovery.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Eddie Capparucci , a licensed professional counselor and creator of the Inner Child Model™ , to explore how emotional regulation, childhood wounds, and nervous system healing play a powerful role in both addiction recovery and betrayal trauma. Dr. Capparucci has spent decades helping individuals and couples understand how unresolved emotional pain from childhood shapes adult coping patterns. Together, we talk about why slowing down, learning to feel, and building emotional regulation skills are foundational to real healing. We also discuss how the Inner Child Model™ has been adapted to support betrayed partners , offering a framework for working with the vulnerable parts that emerge after trust has been broken.
