From Adolescence to Who We Become - The Tragedy Academy. Adolescence is a transformative time in our trajectory. During this period of growth, we often develop coping mechanisms that help us manage the stress, pain, and uncertainty of life. For some, as early as during the teen years, and for others far into adulthood, addiction becomes a way to distract themselves from their emotional wounds. In this episode of The Tragedy Academy, our founder and CEO at Clearfork Academy, Austin Davis, joins as a guest to explain how adolescence plays a pivotal role in shaping who we become from a clinical point of view—and how unhealthy coping mechanisms, like addiction, often arise when our needs as children are not met. Understanding this connection is key to healing and breaking free from the cycle of addiction. Listen to the full episode to discover how our past influences our present and how we can guide our teens (and ourselves) toward healthier coping strategies.
