Episode Synopsis
The Truth About Relapse : Why Sobriety Alone Isn't the Answer &What Dopamine Nation Taught Me About Breaking Bad Habits?I've been reading Anna Lemke's 'Dopamine Nation,' and while it's fantastic, I strongly disagree with her belief that four weeks of sobriety magically fixes everything. I believe addiction is a response, a coping mechanism, a signal that something deeper needs attention. I've seen it time and again with my patients: stopping the addictive behavior is just the first step. It's like stopping the bleeding, but you haven't healed the wound.I'm here to share my insights on how we can truly uncover the underlying causes of addiction. It's not just about quitting; it's about understanding what our behaviours are trying to tell us. I want to help you identify the pain, the trauma, the emotional void that fuels the cycle. I'll walk you through how to look back, analyze your triggers, and, most importantly, how to look forward and learn from every craving and relapse. Because let's face it, relapses happen, and they're not failures; they're opportunities to learn. I'll show you how to use a cravings journal, how to spot patterns, and how to address the real issues hiding beneath the surface. Trust me, I've seen the power of this approach firsthand. It's about more than just sobriety; it's about finding true, lasting healing. Join me, and let's uncover the real story behind your addiction
