Dopamine & Addiction

Please take some time to listen to these podcasts.  They are helpful in understanding addiction and dopamine.  This can help you understand and work on addictions: be it to the media, screen time, opiates, unhealthy activities, or just plain old adrenaline seeking behavior.
This is a 2 part podcast series. 

"All of us think we know what addiction look like. It’s the compulsive consumption of drugs, alcohol, or nicotine. But psychiatrist Anna Lembke argues that our conception of addiction is far too narrow — and that a broader understanding of addiction might help us to understand why so many people are anxious and depressed. This week, we begin a two-part series that explains how and why humans are wired to pursue pleasure, and all the ways the modern world tempts us with addictive substances and behaviors."

"This week, we bring you the second part of our conversation on the perils of too much pleasure. Psychiatrist Anna Lembke explains the neuroscience behind compulsive consumption, and how it alters our brains. She also shares techniques she’s learned from her patients to overcome the lure of addictive substances and behaviors."
