Description
Gill welcomes Dr. Anna Lembke back to the podcast. You may remember Dr. Lembke from episode 76, which was one of the most popular episodes of all time. Dr. Lembke is a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. Her book, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence, an instant New York Times bestseller, explores how to moderate compulsive overconsumption in a dopamine-overloaded world.
In this episode you’ll learn:
Why lying is common in addiction and how we get into the habit of lying
Why it’s so hard for us to be honest with ourselves about our drinking or drug use
How acceptance and self-compassion fits into this
Why it’s critical for our mental health to accept responsibility for our role in the things that happen to us
How to practice radical honesty in your own life
How the way you tell your story impacts your mental health
How you can recognize destructive patterns in your life and take ownership over them
What to do if you don’t like being sober
How does social media and chasing numbers impact our recovery
How long a dopamine fast takes to reset your reward system
