The Delicate Interplay between Trauma and Addiction with Jason D'Cua

Today, Jennifer Mitchell sits down with Jason D'Cua, a public speaker, spiritualist, and recovery advocate. Jason shares his profound journey and sheds light on pivotal aspects of recovery and personal growth.


Jason introduces himself as a person in long-term recovery, having grappled with drug and alcohol addiction since his early teens. He recounts the succession of problems, arrests, and struggles that led to his ultimate defeat by the age of 19. It was through these hardships that he found his path toward recovery, dedicating the last 22 years to understanding himself and advocating for others. One of the striking points Jason discusses is his work with Shine a Light, a charitable organization aimed at helping the homeless in Las Vegas. This organization takes a unique approach by building trust and connections over time, often spending months engaging with individuals before they feel safe to seek help.


Understanding the Fear of Change

Jason shares a compelling story about a man who nearly entered treatment but eventually opted to return to his life on the streets. This story underscores a critical aspect of addiction: the fear of the unknown often outweighs the miserable comfort of the familiar. Jason emphasizes:

  • The Struggle: Many people, whether in unhealthy relationships, jobs, or living situations, cling to the known chaos rather than face the uncertain future.

  • Reluctance to Change: Fear of the unknown can paralyze individuals, making them choose familiar chaos over potential freedom.


The Importance of Emotional Release

Emotional release plays a vital role in Jason's recovery journey. He draws a profound analogy, suggesting that carrying the emotional baggage of the past is akin to lugging a heavy trash bag on a long walk—unnecessary and detrimental.


Jason points out:

  • The Necessity of Emotional Processing: Clinging to past grudges and traumas only harms oneself. Letting go and processing emotions can significantly lighten one's mental and emotional load.

  • Physical Manifestations: Unreleased emotions, particularly anger and sadness, can manifest as physical ailments or chronic pain. For Jason, practicing yoga, specifically hip-opening exercises, has been instrumental in releasing trapped negative energy.


Jennifer adds a personal touch, sharing how quantum hypnosis helps in identifying and releasing trapped emotions. Together, their experiences highlight the critical link between emotional health and overall well-being. Succeeding Amidst Economic Challenges Jason acknowledges the daunting economic landscape, particularly for those attempting to rebuild their lives post-recovery. High housing costs and inflation can make the journey seem insurmountable. However, organizations like Shine a Light provide structured, step-by-step support:

  • Housing Assistance: Temporary housing options, halfway houses, and transitional programs can offer affordable accommodations, fostering a sense of stability and community.

  • Individualized Support: Through donations and self-funding, Shine a Light can tailor its support to individual needs, ensuring that those genuinely striving to better their circumstances receive the help they need to stay on track.


This approach aims to maximize successful outcomes, even when full independence may initially seem out of reach.
