#35: Are you addicted to dopamine? Our brains are designed to approach pleasure and avoid pain. But, if we're focused on only doing things that bring us joy are we actually fueling an addiction to that pleasure? Grace explores the theory backed by psychiatrist Anna Lembke, "addictions can become the cause of pain - not the relief from it". Maybe you don't have a drinking problem, but crave the euphoria you feel while drinking? We discuss different common dopamine addictions, as well as tools and strategies to help break the cycle.
