Rewiring Your Brain: Matt Finch on Neuro-Associative Conditioning for Addiction Recovery
Your brain is always doing this type of mathematical quantification on avoiding pain and gaining pleasure, and that is why we continue so many habits that we'd like to extinguish.
What if you could rewire your brain to break free from addiction? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch dives into the fascinating concept of Neuro-Associative Conditioning (NAC). He explains how our brains link pain and pleasure to different behaviors, and how these associations can fuel addictive habits. By changing these neural connections, Matt suggests, you can transform your relationship with addiction.
He shares practical examples, like using NAC to quit smoking, and highlights the critical role of exercise in this process. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into how NAC can pave the way for lasting change.
