Brainwaves and Beyond: Neurotheology and Alternative Sexualities Explored

Well, it looks like it actually is more the latter that when we look at the broad array of different types of religious experiences and different practices, that, depending on what the person is doing and what senses and thoughts and feelings that they have, they activate very different parts of the brain.
Ever thought about how religious experiences or alternative sexualities might influence brain activity and addiction? This episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS dives deep into these intriguing topics. Host Kenneth Anderson chats with two experts who bring fresh perspectives to the table. First up is Dr. Andrew Newberg, author of 'How God Changes Your Brain'. Dr. Newberg delves into neurotheology, exploring how practices like meditation and speaking in tongues can light up different parts of the brain.
It's not just drugs and alcohol that can alter our consciousness! Then, we hear from Adam Zimbardo, a marriage and family counselor from California. Zimbardo discusses his work with addiction issues and alternative sexualities, including the impact of crystal meth on gay men and the role of psychotherapeutic approaches in treatment. Together, these conversations offer a unique look at how diverse experiences shape our brains and our battles with addiction.
Whether you're curious about the science behind spirituality or the intersections of sexuality and substance use, this episode is packed with insights that might just change how you see addiction and recovery.
