the dopamine episode
(feat. craig knighton)
Trigger Warning: All episodes discuss addiction, depression, anxiety, mental health and the recovery process in depth. If there is any additional triggering material that needs noting there will be mention at the beginning of the episode.
Show Up and Stay co-founders (and siblings) DeAnn and Craig discuss two recent reads of books on the subject of dopamine: The Molecule of More by Dr. Daniel Lieberman and Michael Long and Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke. They explore the power of this little pleasure plan instigator and how it plays a part in the path to addiction and long-term recovery.
