Welcome back!
In this episode I dive into the challenges faced by people struggling with addiction, especially during the pandemic. I explore addiction as a disease and how different aspects of our internal worlds play a role. During this discussion, I highlight the importance of support and therapy in addressing underlying pain and trauma.
I also explore the complexity of substance addiction, considering factors like genetics, environment, and trauma.
Together, we will examine how a combination of genetic markers, traumatic experiences, and exposure to addictive substances increases the risk of addiction, and we'll review DSM diagnosis criteria. And of course, touching upon the challenges of recovery and the significance of abstinence in the early stages. Join me as we explore the controversial use of psychedelics and marijuana as tools in the later stages of recovery. Tune in to gain insights into the complexities of addiction and discover strategies for achieving a healthier mind and happier life.
