Endorphins – which are the love and attachment chemicals – need to be considered if we want to start feeling better once an opioid dependency is ended and those outside opioids are removed and taken out of the picture.
Why do some people struggle with opioid addiction while others don't? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Surviving Opioids - Beyond an Epidemic', host Jeff Simone dives deep into the biology behind our body's natural opioid system—endorphins. These 'love and attachment' chemicals are pivotal in our emotional well-being and play a significant role in addiction recovery. Jeff explains how early-life dysregulation of the endorphin system can set the stage for addiction later on.
He also touches on how trauma and emotional availability intertwine with addiction, offering a holistic view of what it takes to heal. Whether you're curious about the science or looking for practical advice on opioid replacement therapy tapering, this episode is packed with valuable insights. It's a must-listen for anyone affected by opioid addiction, either personally or through a loved one.
