All compulsion, all addictions contain fake dopamine. I say fake because it's not manufactured in the brain. And here I have some more bad news for you. Basically, what happens here is your natural dopamine starts to reduce, so being able to produce your own natural sense of feeling that elation starts to be difficult as we rely on the fake supply.
Why does it feel so impossible to stop a compulsive habit, even when you desperately want to? Shelley Treacher, BACP Accredited Somatic Psychotherapist, tackles this tough question in an enlightening episode of 'Underground Confidence Recovery'. If you've ever found yourself caught in the relentless grip of addiction or compulsion, this episode is for you. Shelley unpacks the biochemistry behind these behaviors, making complex science accessible and relatable.
You'll learn how factors like fake dopamine and emotional triggers play a crucial role in why it's so hard to just 'stop'. She also discusses the environmental and biological aspects that contribute to addiction, shedding light on why some people are more susceptible than others. This episode doesn't just leave you with the 'why' but also offers a sense of hope and control. Understanding the science behind your struggles can be the first step toward reclaiming your power.
Shelley’s compassionate approach makes this heavy topic feel manageable and even empowering. Whether you're battling an addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights that could make a real difference in your journey.
