There are many, many types of addiction, but it's really the way I have now grown to think about. When we're not able to do that, then addiction becomes a mechanism for the brain to get some kind of comfort.
Picture this: you're constantly buried in work, chasing deadlines, and never quite feeling satisfied. Sounds familiar? In this episode of 'Inside Addiction,' host Luke Worsfold sits down with Bryan Robinson to uncover a lesser-discussed yet prevalent addiction—work addiction. Robinson, who has personally battled this issue, sheds light on how it can be just as damaging as substance abuse.
He explains that addiction often stems from our brain's attempt to find comfort when basic needs aren't met, making those from dysfunctional backgrounds particularly vulnerable. Robinson delves into the genetic and familial influences that can perpetuate addiction across generations. He shares his own journey, revealing how work addiction impacted his life both personally and professionally. But it's not all doom and gloom; Robinson offers practical tools to combat this hidden addiction.
One of his standout suggestions is to create a 'to-be' list rather than a 'to-do' list, encouraging us to focus on being present and enjoying the moment. He also talks about the importance of recognizing our shortcomings as a way to transition from a 'survive brain' to a 'thrive brain.' This episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by work or know someone who has, this conversation is a must-listen.
