When we clear out the trauma, the EEGs don't go back to completely being normalized.
Ever wondered how brain science can aid in addiction recovery? This episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, hosted by Zach Crouch, brings together two brilliant minds to explore just that. Dr. Amy Serin, a renowned neuropsychologist and author of 'The Stress Switch', kicks things off by sharing her journey into the field of psychology and what it means to be a neuropsychologist.
She explains how neuropsychology, which she describes as 'clinical psychology plus', can offer unique benefits to those battling addiction. Dr. Serin also provides practical advice on avoiding relapse during stressful times, such as the current pandemic. Next, Zach welcomes Dr. Lawrence Jedlicka, a neurologist with a personal history of overcoming addiction. Dr. Jedlicka delves into the significance of brain mapping and brain training in the recovery process.
He shares his own transformative journey from active addiction to becoming a specialist in addiction medicine. The conversation touches on the human fight-or-flight response and its role in addiction, offering listeners a deeper understanding of the physiological aspects of their struggles. Both experts highlight the importance of developing a belief system that supports recovery and adapting lifestyle changes to manage stress effectively.
Whether you're seeking new strategies to maintain sobriety or curious about the science behind addiction, this episode is packed with valuable insights and real-life experiences that resonate with anyone on the recovery journey.
