Overcome Addictions and Obsessions of All Kinds | Dr. Anna Lembke
Dr. Anna Lembke, MD, is chief of the Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic at Stanford and a leading expert in how to overcome addictions of all kinds. We discuss dopamine dynamics in the brain and how they impact risk-taking, mental obsession, and compulsive behaviors. We also discuss the most common addiction of all—people’s addiction to control—and how prayer and spiritual practices can open up new neural pathways and help end unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors, including codependence.Show notes: https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/overcome-addictions-and-obsessions-of-all-kinds-anna-lembke?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_content=description+link
