Coming Soon: Special Series on Addiction
Starting next Monday, I\u2019m doing another special series\u2014this set is about addiction. You\u2019ll hear from four distinct voices in the space, covering harm reduction, new paths to recovery, codependency, and the shape of addiction in our culture. This is just scratching the surface, but hopefully the beginning of conversations in our own lives, as addiction touches us all, in its myriad forms. While this set is focused on substance, we'll be back with more in this space\u2014and if you want to get started, you\u2019ll find links to two previous episodes on this theme. Dr. Gabor Mat\xe9, who spent much of his career working in the most addicted corner of North America, explains why trauma is central to understanding addiction, and Dr. Anna Lembke, explores the role of dopamine and the delicate balance between pleasure and pain. You can find those links in the show notes\u2014and I\u2019ll see you on Thursday for a regular episode of Pulling the Thread, and Monday for the beginning of this special episode.\n\nSHOW NOTES:\nADDICTION: Anna Lembke, M.D., \u201cNavigating an Addictive Culture\u201d\nTRAUMA: Gabor Mat\xe9, M.D., \u201cWhen Stress Becomes Illness\u201d\n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
