Imagine a world where understanding your brain could unlock the key to overcoming addiction. In this episode of 'Steps To Sobriety', Stephan Neff chats with Hosein Kouros-Mehr, MD, PhD, a renowned physician-scientist and author of 'Break Through: Master Your Default Mode and Thrive'. Hosein dives into the fascinating concept of the default mode network (DMN), a part of the brain that significantly impacts our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
He explains how mastering the DMN can lead to a happier, more fulfilling life, free from addictive cravings and other mental health challenges. Hosein shares his journey from dealing with his own addictive cravings and emotional pain to understanding the science behind these struggles. He discusses how the DMN, often referred to as the 'ego', drives many of our negative thought patterns and behaviours.
By learning to quiet this network and activate other parts of the brain, we can begin to heal from trauma and addiction. The conversation touches on the intersection of science, mental health, and spirituality. Hosein highlights the importance of merging Eastern and Western medical practices, such as meditation and trauma-focused yoga, to address the root causes of addiction.
He also delves into the societal factors that contribute to our addictive behaviours, including the impact of social media and advertising on our mental health. If you're curious about how your brain works and how you can harness this knowledge for personal growth and healing, this episode is a must-listen. Hosein's insights offer hope and practical advice for anyone struggling with addiction or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves.
