Tian Dayton: If You Grew Up with Addicts, Healing Is a Discipline
About this episode
Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Tian Dayton about the impact of growing up with addiction and the discipline required for healing.
Are the patterns you formed surviving a chaotic childhood still running your life today? Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Tian Dayton—trauma expert, psychodramatist, and author of Growing Up with Addiction —about how addiction doesn't just happen to one person, it happens to the whole family, and why healing the wounds it leaves behind requires more than insight. It requires discipline. This conversation offers genuine transmission—not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together.
