So you know, being aware of, you know whose approval are you really looking for. And you know that the inner voice, the longing, the craving it, starts to get quieter over time, that you know self-destructiveness starts to fade away, and that you know over time it's possible to be more and more in the present moment, rather than being driven by the underlying addiction, and that you can find out that in fact, you're way stronger than you had ever thought, which is, you know, in itself also a very, very beautiful thing.
Ever wondered why addiction feels like an unending battle? Dr. Anna Baranowsky, a seasoned clinical psychologist, sheds light on this complex issue in an eye-opening episode of the Bear Psychology Podcast. With a staggering 40 million people in the U.S. grappling with addiction, it's a topic that hits close to home for many.

But don't lose hope—she offers valuable insights into overcoming these challenges. Dr. Baranowsky takes us through the history of addiction treatment, from the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous to modern methods that emphasize social support. She highlights Portugal's groundbreaking approach, which focuses on helping individuals rebuild their lives by providing resources and job opportunities. This compassionate model shows that recovery is possible with the right support system. Technology addiction also gets a spotlight in this episode.
In our digital age, it's easy to fall into the trap of compulsive tech use. Dr. Baranowsky discusses how self-awareness can be a powerful tool in breaking free from these habits. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and encouragement.
