Most people who struggle with addiction already know the consequences.

They know the promises they made the night before.
They know the damage it causes.

So the real question has never been “why don’t they understand the risks?”

The real question is much deeper.

Why does the body return to something even when the mind knows better?

Addiction does not always look like drugs or alcohol. Sometimes it looks like relationships we cannot leave, caretaking everyone around us, control, food, work, or patterns we swear we will stop and somehow repeat.

For many people, addiction is not about pleasure. It is about relief. Relief from anxiety, shame, loneliness, or emotions the nervous system does not know how to hold.

Not because someone is broken.

Because the body is trying to survive.

In this 8 hour training (in person at Rooted Holistic Center) Trauma & Addiction: When the Body Is Trying to Survive, we will explore addiction and compulsive patterns through a trauma and nervous system lens. We will talk about relapse, enabling, why current recovery models sometimes fall short for trauma survivors, and what recovery might look like when we understand the nervous system.

My name is Jennie Claire, founder of Rooted Holistic Center and creator of the trauma informed 12 step recovery program Rooted Through Recovery.

A slow, grounding experience focused on regulation. Gentle Yin postures are supported with props and choice, inviting softness without force. The practice transitions into Yoga Nidra, a guided state of deep stillness where you remain aware and in control. Sound is layered throughout as an optional support for settling and integration. Come try out the weighted blankets!

There is something happening right now that I think we need to talk about honestly because I get so incredibly worked up over this….

Trauma has become the word everyone wants to use.

You see it everywhere.
Trauma informed coaching.
Trauma healing programs.
Nervous system regulation experts.
Trauma informed yoga.

The intention may be good. But intention is not the same as competency.

When we are talking about trauma we are talking about the brain, the autonomic nervous system, dissociation, survival responses, memory fragmentation, attachment disruption, and years of patterned coping strategies that developed to help someone survive.

This is not light work.

And when people guide others through trauma processing without understanding the science or the responsibility of that space, people can leave more dysregulated than when they arrived.

Learning about trauma is wonderful.
Doing your own work is powerful.
Growing in awareness of the nervous system is important.

But marketing yourself as someone who can guide others through trauma requires depth, education, and lived embodiment.

Trauma is not a trend.

At Rooted Holistic Center we take this work seriously because the people who walk through our doors are not content. They are human beings whose bodies learned how to survive things that should never have happened.

They deserve safety.
They deserve care.
They deserve practitioners who respect the weight of the work.

You’ve seen the trend “ this is your _____” with a photo of their younger self. The thread of a life. The memories that connect who someone was to who they are now.

But I’ve been scrolling those posts thinking something very different.

I don’t remember that little girl.

I remember maybe a dozen moments before my twenties. Not years. Moments. The rest of my childhood is mostly blank. I know facts about my life. I know where I lived. I know people existed. I know things happened. But knowing something happened and remembering it are two completely different things.

And when you say that out loud, people often don’t understand it.

In my case it wasn’t strangers making jokes about it.
It was family.

When you say you don’t remember your childhood people think you’re exaggerating or being dramatic. So it gets brushed off with jokes.

“Were you adopted?”
“Maybe you were an alien.”
“How do you not remember anything?”

But dissociative amnesia is a very real trauma response. When the brain experiences overwhelming trauma, especially early in life, it sometimes protects itself by limiting access to memory. Not because those years didn’t happen. Not because the experiences weren’t real. But because the nervous system could not safely hold them.

So you grow up living with something strange.

You know your life happened.
You survived it.
But the memories themselves are missing.

And when the people around you joke about that absence, it can feel like they are dismissing the very experiences your brain had to protect you from.

For anyone else who scrolls past those childhood posts and feels that quiet ache because your mind goes blank instead of nostalgic, you are not broken and you are not alone.

My name is Jennie Claire. I am the founder of and the creator of , a trauma informed recovery program built on the understanding that many of the patterns we carry into adulthood are survival responses to things our nervous systems had to endure.

Sometimes the story we are healing from is the one we cannot fully remember. Can you relate?

Long before we had language for trauma, or neuroscience, or regulation, humans sat together and made sound. A drum, a heartbeat, a pulse moving through the room. Breath slowing. Shoulders dropping. Bodies remembering that they are not alone.

Our drum circle is a space for that. It is simply a place to sit together and let rhythm guide the body back toward itself. We work with slow, intentional breathing while we play, noticing how breath and sound begin to move together, awareness of sensation, rhythm, and presence.

Sometimes the drum follows the breath.
Sometimes the breath follows the drum.
Either way, something inside the body begins to settle.

Drums are available here at the studio, or you are welcome to bring your own.

This circle meets every other Wednesday at 5:30pm, and the next gathering is next Wednesday.

All Rooted group classes are donation based so this space can stay accessible to the community. Because space is limited, please cancel at least 24 hours ahead when possible so someone else can take the space; repeated no shows may result in accounts being paused from enrollment.

Music changed my life long before I had language for trauma. Before I understood regulation. Before I could explain why rhythm made my chest feel less tight. I just knew that when my hands were on strings, something inside me steadied.

And the truth is, music as embodied “therapy” is not always accessible. Instruments are expensive. Lessons are expensive. Studio spaces are expensive. So a lot of people who could benefit the most never even get to try.

That never felt aligned with what we built at Rooted.

So this class is donation based. It’s small on purpose. Capped at six so it stays grounded, relational, and aware. All instruments are provided. Guitars, yes. But also on site keys and percussion so we can layer rhythm, build sound, and actually let the sessions come alive instead of sitting rigidly practicing scales.

This is about giving your body somewhere to put the energy. It is about letting sound move what feels stuck. It is about learning in a way that feels human and giving voice to things that maybe we never knew how to.

If you’ve wanted to learn but money stopped you, this is your invitation.

Tuesday nights. 5:30 PM. Ya gotta pre register.

We are changing access, one chord at a time.
