The brain, through the various systems that are activated...all of these things get recruited for the sake of survival, and it sounds like it's poetic or something, except when you're experiencing it.
Ever wondered how your state of mind affects your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Integral Recovery', hosts John Dupuy, Dr. Bob Weathers, and Doug Prater take you on a deep dive into the complex relationship between states of consciousness and addiction. They explore how different mental states—whether you're feeling happy, sad, energetic, or lethargic—play a significant role in both addiction and recovery.
With a mix of personal stories and scientific insights, the hosts discuss the genetic factors that contribute to addiction, the truth about cravings, and how our brain's most primitive part, the amygdala, drives these cravings for survival. Dr. Weathers shares eye-opening details about how understanding these subcortical roots can help in managing addiction.
But it’s not all science; they also delve into the emotional aspects like self-compassion and shadow work, offering practical tools to help you navigate your own path to recovery. This episode is a treasure trove of information for anyone looking to understand the deeper layers of addiction and find practical steps for a healthier life.
