Untangling Addiction and Antisocial Personality Disorder with Dr. Snipes

If we don't treat the depression, all we're going to end up with is someone who is clean and still really, really depressed and struggling to exist, struggling to survive.
Ever wondered why addiction often seems to bring out antisocial behaviors? Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes dives into this tricky topic on the Counselor Toolbox Podcast. In this episode, she breaks down how addiction and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) can look similar but are actually quite different. Dr. Snipes explains why some behaviors emerge during active addiction and how to tell them apart from those linked to ASPD. She doesn't just stop at explanations—she offers practical tools for dealing with these issues.
You'll hear about distress tolerance, self-soothing techniques, and ways to manage anger. Plus, she emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying problems like depression and building self-esteem. If you're a counselor, coach, or someone grappling with addiction and mental health challenges, this episode is packed with actionable advice. Dr. Snipes' approachable style makes complex topics easy to understand, offering a lifeline for anyone looking to improve their skills or find personal guidance.
