Real Connections: Seth Dunn on Therapy, Youth, and Substance Use

I think if you were to look at drugs right now, opioids still have a bad rap. If this chemistry exam or whatever it is, it's the distress tolerance that you try to develop in adolescence, that developing of endurance, of grit, of perseverance, that if somebody smokes marijuana once it's not an on-off light switch, kind of a thing for kids who are getting high before school every day, it's going to really make it more difficult to learn.
Imagine having a candid chat with a seasoned therapist who’s been in the game since the 70s. That’s exactly what you get in this episode of 'NPC in the 413'. Seth Dunn, a local therapist and father of two, sits down to share his journey and insights on therapy, adolescent substance use, and the power of genuine relationships.
Seth's passion for mentoring young people and fostering real connections shines through as he discusses the importance of meaningful engagement and finding true alternatives to substance use for those in recovery. He doesn’t just talk about therapy; he dives into the nitty-gritty of family dynamics, stress, and the genetic factors that play a role in substance use. If you're a parent, caregiver, or someone looking to make a positive impact in your community, Seth's wisdom is both enlightening and practical.
From emphasizing honest conversations about substance use to highlighting the need for real replacements that offer fulfillment, this episode is packed with valuable advice. Tune in to hear Seth’s thoughts on how we can all contribute to healthier, more connected communities.
