Cindy Shaw Unpacks the Brain's Role in Addiction and Recovery

You're not stuck with the brain you have... And as much as they say they're helping you get your life together by getting you a job... it's like throwing a band-aid on a wound.

In this eye-opening episode of the Soulber Podcast, Cindy Shaw dives into her extensive research on brain function and its intricate relationship with addiction and mental health. Cindy reveals that the brain is far from a static organ; it’s capable of remarkable change and adaptation. She explores how childhood experiences can set the stage for addiction and discusses the often-overlooked limitations of traditional therapy.
Cindy doesn’t just stop at the science; she shares her own experiences with treatment centers, emphasizing the crucial role of support systems in recovery.
