Addiction is more than substances—it's any behavior that provides temporary pleasure or relief but leads to long-term negative consequences and becomes difficult to stop. In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Gabor Maté of drgabormate9132 and Joe Polish CEO of Genius Network explore the true nature of addiction, its roots in emotional pain, and how societal systems often misunderstand it. From personal stories of trauma and recovery to insights into the brain’s development, they discuss: - Addiction as a response to emotional pain, loneliness, and anxiety. - How trauma shapes behaviors like workaholism, drug use, and sexual addiction. - Why the medical and legal systems fail to address the real problem. - The role of parenting, environment, and societal stress in fostering conditions for addiction. This candid discussion challenges the stigma around addiction and calls for a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to healing.
