From Eating Disorder to 30 Years in Recovery: Trauma, EMDR & Healing

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Rachel Pappert Docekal, a recovery advocate and executive at the Hanley Center in West Palm Beach. Rachel opens up about her own 30-year recovery journey — starting with an eating disorder in college, the friends who loved her enough to intervene, and the layers of childhood trauma she's worked through over decades of therapy, including EMDR. We also get into: Why addiction is a brain disease — and why removing the substance alone isn't enough How process addictions (gambling, food, phones) hijack the same dopamine system as drugs The danger of high-THC cannabis and marijuana-induced psychosis Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) — what it is, when it helps, and how to think about it Hanley's groundbreaking 5-day family program and why family support is the #1 relapse prevention tool Kratom, 7-OH, and the next addiction crisis coming for our kids What life in long-term recovery actually looks like Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or just curious — this one is not to be missed. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction or mental health, you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out to my partners at Compassion Behavioral Health.
