Alcohol can hijack your brain, particularly if you're vulnerable to that getting hijacked. You're now on autopilot, being driven by this hijacked brain.
Why is addiction often seen through a lens of stigma and misunderstanding? In this thought-provoking episode of 'From Sobriety to Recovery', Jesse Mogle sits down with Dr. Tricia Witte to unravel the complex science behind addiction. Dr. Witte, who has dedicated her career to helping those affected by addiction, brings a wealth of knowledge on the physical and psychological mechanisms at play.
Together, they tackle questions like how genetics influence addiction, what happens to the brain when alcohol is consumed, and the stages of addiction and withdrawal. Dr. Witte doesn't just stop at the science; she also shares practical relapse prevention strategies and underscores the critical role of empathy and support in recovery. They even touch on the addictive nature of social media and its impact on the brain.
If you're looking to deepen your understanding of addiction or find practical advice for yourself or a loved one, this episode is a must-listen.
