Addiction is learned and can therefore be unlearned.
Ever wondered why some habits are harder to break than others? In this episode of 'The Motyv Podcast', licensed therapist and addiction specialist Shayden J.

On the other hand, psychological addictions, such as those to pornography or gambling, rely on mental and emotional triggers. The good news? Both types of addiction can be unlearned. Shayden emphasizes the importance of recognizing what you're truly craving and suggests that understanding these cravings is a key step toward overcoming them.
Through relatable analogies and real-life examples, he illustrates how repetition and new positive habits can replace old, destructive ones. This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone looking to break free from bad habits and build a healthier, happier life. Shayden's empathetic approach and actionable tips make this a must-listen for anyone on a journey of self-improvement.
