Addiction: Multiple Root Causes Aligning

- -- -- Substance & Behavioral Addictions Beyond Dopamine and the "Addictive Personality," the Role of Methylation, Attachment, Trauma, Social Isolation & Problems Regulating Emotions.

“Addicted” - “exhibiting a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity.”

Like other health conditions, addiction is multifactorial. It is the result of an alignment of root causes. In this podcast, I’ll discuss:

- Substance addiction and behavioral addictions

- Why addiction is not simply about dopamine and why there are multiple addictive personalities

- How & why we differ in our physiologic response to substances

- Our culture’s shaming and punishment of addiction while fueling addiction

- The role of attachment disruption, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and social isolation
