In this episode of the Alcohol Rethink Podcast, host Patrick Fox has a deep and enlightening conversation about addiction and how we approach it with Maia Szalavitz, a New York Times best-selling author and renowned neuroscience journalist.
They explore the complexities of addiction, discussing its definition, the distinction between compulsion and physical dependence, and the role of developmental experiences in addiction susceptibility.
Maia Szalavitz emphasises that addiction is more about compulsive behaviour than pleasure, and highlights the importance of understanding the brain's mechanisms of wanting and liking.
The conversation also touches on the impact of adolescent development on risk-taking behaviour and the need for effective prevention strategies that address emotional management rather than fear-based tactics.
In this conversation, Patrick Fox delves into the complexities of addiction, highlighting its nature as a learning process influenced by childhood trauma and the role of shame.
They advocate for compassionate approaches to recovery, highlighting the importance of understanding neurodiversity in addiction. The discussion also touches on the evolving landscape of addiction treatment and the significance of being radically human in our connections with others.
