Ep 110: Chemical vs Process Addictions
Jake and the clinical podcast team talk about chemical and process addictions. Chemical addictions involve substances that latch onto parts of the brain and release an excess of dopamine, creating a dependency. Process addictions, on the other hand, involve behaviors like gambling, video games, and social media, which also release chemicals in the brain and can become addictive. This conversation highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing all types of addictions, as well as the need for patience, support, and intentional efforts to break addictive patterns. Jake Wiskerchen and the group discuss the similarities between substance addiction and process addiction, such as the patterns of behavior and the underlying emotional issues.
