Overcoming Addiction through Emotional Control | Ep. 113: Bob Gardner
Today we discuss addiction, your mental process for using memories to assess your current situation.
Welcome back to the 113th episode of the Hard Thing Podcast.
Today I share my conversation with addiction expert, Bob Gardner.
Some highlights from today's show:
- We talk about how our brain is constantly looking to keep us alive by using memories of similarly difficult experiences
- We talk about the body's responses to stress
- We then discuss the importance of changing your personal narratives
Bob also left us some action items as well:
1. Ask where are these emotions coming from?
2. Gain context around hard things
3. Set an alarm to ask you "what are you feeling and how long do you want to feel that?"
4. Ask, "what if I'm wrong"

Hey, there adventurer!
I appreciate you taking the time to do an investigation check and dig into the archives of the show. I want you to know that this is an old episode back when the show was called The Hard Thing Podcast. The topics are still the same, though the format and some of the names are different. If you’re coming back to The Hard Thing Podcast, well surprise! We changed our name and some of our branding. Feel free to hang out in the archives and listen to the wonderful old episode of the Hard Thing Podcast, or take on a new adventure by listening to some of our current episodes. Either way, happy adventuring.
