If we can go down that path, all of a sudden we start increasing empathy so that people can look at other people and they can understand how somebody got to the place that they got.
Ever wondered if addiction is more about your genes or your environment? In this episode of The After Gambling Podcast, Jamie Salsburg dives deep into this age-old debate. Drawing from over a decade of research and personal experience as a former compulsive gambler, Jamie offers a fresh perspective on how we talk about addiction. He believes that our current focus on genetics might be missing the bigger picture.
Instead, Jamie suggests that addiction is a complex dance between nature and nurture. By understanding this interplay, we can better support those struggling with addiction and maybe even harness some of these traits for positive outcomes. Jamie's new storytelling framework aims to shift our perspective, making us more empathetic and informed. If you're curious about how environment and genetics shape addiction, or just looking for a new way to think about recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
