You don't have to do this alone because you can't, and there are people out there who can help you.
Addiction isn't just about substances; it's deeply intertwined with isolation, stress, and unresolved trauma. In this episode of 'Beyond Theory', Dr. Invia Betjoseph, a marriage and family therapist specializing in sex addiction, sheds light on these complex connections. She argues that addiction often thrives in isolation, fueled by the fast-paced, high-stress lives many of us lead. But recovery is possible, and it starts with a paradigm shift. Dr.
Betjoseph explains how recognizing addiction as a symptom rather than a personal failing can be the first step toward healing. By breaking through denial and creating safe, supportive environments, individuals can start their journey to recovery. The episode dives into the impacts of stress and abuse on addiction and explores how the brain changes in response to addictive behaviors. Dr. Betjoseph also emphasizes the crucial role of self-care and slowing down in our hectic world.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the deeper issues behind addiction and how to foster a path to recovery.
