Hey y’all—and welcome back to the ClearlyWell Podcast, where we keep it real about mental health, healing, and the stuff that doesn’t always make it into the therapy room or the group chat.
I’m your host, Elizabeth—and today’s episode is one of those quiet truth bombs that might just change the way you think about drinking, trauma, and what your nervous system is really asking for.
We’re talking about the relationship between unresolved trauma and alcohol use—how the body stores trauma, how GABA plays a role in your urge to drink, and why that brunch mimosa or 'wine o’clock' habit might not be as harmless as we think.
This isn’t about judgment. It’s about understanding.
Because when we know what’s really going on in our bodies and brains, we can make choices that actually move us toward healing—not just survival.
