Join Heidi Rain in a compelling episode of "Addiction and Relationships," where we examine the transformative impact of addiction on behavior, trust, and moral boundaries. Addiction not only impairs the brain's ability to control impulses but also leads individuals to cross lines they never imagined they would. This episode highlights the importance of taking breaks during addiction recovery, which serve as crucial barriers to prevent relapse and enhance decision-making. We also delve into how past experiences shape one’s behavior in relationships, often leading to a destructive cycle of trying to fix others at the expense of one's self-worth.

Brain Function and Moral Boundaries: Understanding how addiction affects brain function, leading to compromised control and ethical dilemmas.

Breaks in Recovery: Discussing the critical role of breaks in sustaining sobriety and improving judgment.

Cycle of Relationships: Exploring how upbringing influences relationship behaviors and the common trap of attempting to repair others instead of focusing on personal boundaries.

Attraction and Impulse Control: Analyzing the parallels between attraction to beauty and addiction impulses, emphasizing the need for self-control and consequence evaluation.

Trust and Recovery: Strategies for rebuilding trust and overcoming betrayal in relationships, incorporating methods to retrain the brain and heal emotional wounds.
