Your brain is ancient, but your world is not. We unpack how a hunter-gatherer reward system runs into modern dopamine superstimuli—engineered foods, infinite feeds, one-click buys, and potent drugs—and why that mismatch can spiral into addiction. Using clear language and vivid examples, we explain cravings, compulsion, and consequences through the lens of dopamine: how normal rewards help us survive, how substances hijack that circuitry, and how constant notifications keep the throttle stuck open.We go deeper into the factors that raise or lower risk. Genetics account for roughly half of vulnerability and often determine a “drug of choice,” where one person feels sick from alcohol while another feels energized and social. Then we connect the dots between mental health and substance use. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD frequently overlap with addiction, and treating one without the other rarely works. The ACEs research shows how chronic childhood stress reshapes the brain and the body, setting the stage for later disease. PTSD flips fight-or-flight on at the wrong time, and many people reach for alcohol or cannabis to blunt nightmares and panic, only to worsen the cycle.Timing is pivotal. Teen brains run on lower baseline dopamine yet respond fiercely to novelty, making early use more rewarding and more dangerous. We share practical insights about delaying use, protecting brain development, and building real skills for stress, sleep, and conflict. A candid case study ties it together: a young adult mixing alcohol and cocaine, a missed PTSD diagnosis, and a turning point when care shifts to trauma therapy and targeted medications. The takeaway is hopeful and clear—when we treat the pain beneath the substance and rebuild healthy rewards, recovery becomes possible and durable.If this conversation helped you see addiction more clearly, subscribe, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

What was it like to be inside Softimage during the Microsoft acquisition? How did Bill Gates' "big pivot" to the internet change everything overnight? Industry veteran David Morin joins Chris to share his fascinating origin story, from programming with punch cards and an 8-year art detour to working with ILM on Jurassic Park and navigating the seismic shifts at Softimage, Microsoft, Avid, and Autodesk. Today, David leads the Academy Software Foundation (ASWF), and he details its crucial mission: providing a permanent, secure home for the industry's most vital open-source software.

The Queens' Court Miniseries: Fortifying the Village in Uncertain TimesAfter more than a year away from the mic, Michelle, Keisha, and Nicole return with a raw, unfiltered conversations about what it means to protect your peace, strengthen your village, and stay grounded in a world that feels increasingly unstable.This reintroduction episode of Queens Court dives deep into three essential pillars for this season:Advocacy & Community (Michelle) – how to rebel wisely, safeguard your family, and navigate systems designed to silence you.Mental Health & Healing (Keisha) – the real impact of stress, ACEs, and internalized trauma, and how to recognize when you need help.Emotional Intelligence & Empathy (Nicole) – why compassion is a power move, not a weakness, and how grounded awareness can protect your peace.The Queens get honest about personal growth, spiraling moments, and what it looks like to stay emotionally regulated while navigating psychological warfare, social unrest, and survival fatigue in the Black community.From On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder to lessons on boundaries, rebellion, and staying human in the face of chaos—this episode is part therapy session, part wake-up call, and part survival guide.Takeaways:Why self-awareness is your best defense in times of uncertaintyThe importance of grounding, meditation, and spiritual balanceHow to protect your digital footprint and your identity in the current climate

Thanks for joining me in Session 315 of The Behavioral Observations Podcast. In this episode, I spoke with Drs. Gabi Morgan and David Adams to dive deep into trauma-informed behavior analysis. Gabi brings her 30-year journey in the field—from undergrad roots to professorship at Bay Path University—while David shares his evolution from child and family therapy to clinical psychology, with a heavy focus on foster and adoptive parenting. Both guests are passionate about closing the divide between trauma therapy and behavioral strategies, and they credit mentors like Dr. Jeannie Golden for lighting the way. We kick things off by unpacking what trauma really means. In doing so, as a content warning, please be aware that we do make general references to a variety of traumatic and adverse experiences. Having said that, David walks us through SAMHSA's three-part definition: the event, the experience, and the effects. It's not the event itself that defines trauma—it's the individual's response. He introduces "adverse conditioning experiences" as a behavior-analytic twist on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), spotlighting how negative associations get wired in through conditioning. From there, we contrast PTSD and complex PTSD. Same core symptoms (intrusive thoughts, avoidance, etc.), but complex PTSD adds prolonged exposure and three extra layers: impaired self-worth, rocky relationships, and emotional dysregulation. Gabi drives home a critical point: folks with developmental disabilities are at higher risk for trauma but often fly under the diagnostic radar. We need to get better at spotting trauma-related behaviors in this population. Screening, Brain Science, and Practical Strategies Screening is a big theme. We all agree behavior analysts aren't formally trained in assessment, but we have to be aware of how this is done. Gabi loves the Child Health and Development Institute's Child Trauma Screen (CTS), and the Massachusetts Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (Mass CANS) tool.  David then nerds out on the neurobiology: trauma affects the amygdala (hypervigilance), hippocampus (memory glitches), hypothalamus (stress gone haywire), and frontal lobe (decision-making on the fritz). Enter the "amygdala hijack"—when fear short-circuits rational thought. Bottom line? Kids in fight-or-flight aren't in a teachable moment. Safety and calm have to come first. We close the show with actionable takeaways: risk-benefit analyses for every intervention (especially with histories of food neglect), "kind extinction" (empathy + withholding reinforcers), and the six pillars of trauma-informed care (safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, cultural competence). TIC isn't a "hyphenated" ABA—it's the whole framework. Advice for new BCBAs? Seek trauma training, question "business as usual," and be the stable adult in a kid's chaotic world. Empathy, creativity, and reducing fear are your superpowers. Additional Resources Toward Trauma-Informed Applications of Behavior Analysis (Rajaraman, et al., 2021) Inside JABA 10 with Drs.

Full shownotes, transcript and resources here: https://soundbitesrd.com/297 We know that there is not one single treatment approach that works for every person with obesity, however there is one type of approach we can use when discussing weight with every person: trauma-informed care (TIC). TIC is an approach that recognizes the possibility that many people may have a history of trauma exposure, and how this past or ongoing trauma such as abuse, neglect or food insecurity can shape a person's relationship with food, body and health behaviors. Data show that 64% of adults in the U.S. reported they had experienced at least one type of adverse childhood experience (ACE) before age 18 and nearly one in six adults reported they had experienced four or more types of ACEs. Compared to women with 0 ACEs, women with 4+ ACEs are 62% more likely to have obesity, 41% more likely to report a hypertension diagnosis, and 36% more likely to report a diabetes diagnosis. Tune in to this episode to learn about: · why TIC is so important · how TIC is different from motivational interviewing · benefits of TIC to patients and practitioners · the obesity-trauma connection · weight stigma and diabetes distress · adverse childhood experiences · shared decision making · resources for health professionals and the public

Adverse childhood experiences are notoriously hard to overcome, and they can affect a person well into adulthood. But the grace of close, stable, nurturing relationships can offer hope. Terence Lester—author of From Dropout to Doctorate and founder of Love Beyond Walls—joins Mark Labberton for a conversation about resilience, faith, and the redemptive power of seeing and being seen. Lester recounts his life's journey from poverty, homelessness, and gang membership in southwest Atlanta to earning his PhD in public policy and social change. Together, they explore the impact of childhood trauma on personal development; education as a form of love, justice, and community service; and the healing potential of local community and proximity. Lester's story is a testament to divine grace, human courage, and the transformative impact of compassionate words and faithful presence. Episode Highlights "The higher your ACE score, the more your body has to overcome… Every 'yes' cultivates a stronger relationship with pain. Your counterparts with lower scores may never develop those same muscles of resilience." "Education is a tool that increases your capacity to serve others." "People don't become what you want them to become—they become what you encourage them to become." "I am a product of people who invested in me and of the things I've had to resist." "You can't love your neighbour if you're not concerned about the neighbourhood that produces your neighbour." "Each sentence spoken can become a seed of hope—or a curse that crushes it."

Show Notes Education and social change Terence Lester describes sitting beside his father's hospital bed reflecting on vulnerability, legacy, and resilience. His father's words—"I'm proud of you"—affirmed the journey from poverty to doctorate. Growing up amid trauma, gangs, and homelessness in southwest Atlanta. The generational impact of systemic injustice and public policy shaping social outcomes Education as a tool for empowerment and community transformation, not self-advancement "Education is a tool that increases your capacity to serve others." How the post–Civil Rights era shaped identity and pride in blackness while still marked by inequality Frames poverty itself as a form of trauma, calling for empathy and systemic response Trauma, resilience, and the ACEs framework Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) test as a tool for understanding trauma Lester shares his 10/10 ACE score—complete exposure to childhood trauma "Every 'yes' cultivates a stronger relationship with pain… You must climb out of a pit to reach emotionally stable ground." How adversity produced resilience, not fragility Connecting personal trauma to compassion in ministry among the unhoused How proximity to suffering forms the capacity for empathy and love Faith, identity, and calling Connecting resilience and faith: "I believe my being was intricately woven together by God." Psalm 139 and seeing himself as "fearfully and wonderfully made" Jesus's life as a model of proximity and compassionate visibility—"Jesus saw." The church as a community of affirmation and blessing How words spoken over others—curses or encouragement—shape identity "People don't become what you want them to become—they become what you encourage them to become." Community, visibility, and flourishing "You can't love your neighbor if you're not concerned about the neighborhood that produces your neighbor." Warns of a "compassion deficit" and urges the rebuilding of community communication Seeds and environments: people cannot flourish where conditions are hostile The need for better care for impoverished environments that stunt potential Community as the soil of hope—"People find hope and possibility in community." Lester's mother's resilience and faith—earning her own doctorate while raising two children "I am a product of her never giving up." The generational power of education and faith as liberation Hope, words, and the power of blessing Transformative and timely sentences: encouraging words of seeds or yeast—small yet life-altering How to speak life, not curses, over others "Each sentence spoken can become a seed of hope—or a curse that crushes it." Mentorship, community affirmation, and divine proximity as instruments of healing Interrogating falsehoods: "God is not the source of cursing." A call to faith-rooted compassion, proximity, and collective responsibility. Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Can trauma be inherited across generations? And more importantly—can it be stopped? Dr. Nadine Burke Harris has spent her career answering those questions. As California's first Surgeon General, she championed screening for ACEs, built networks between clinics and communities, and pushed for policies that save lives. In this conversation with Jess Larsen, Nadine shares the science, the policy battles, and the deeply human side of this work—from seeing patients transformed when told “you're not crazy” to showing how neuroplasticity means no one is permanently broken. It's science, leadership, and hope rolled into one. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Have you ever felt like you were finally okay—only to be blindsided by a wave of emotion you didn't see coming? In this episode of Pursue Your Spark, “When Childhood Trauma Reawakens: Stacey Hettes on Healing After Midlife,” I sit down with Dr. Stacey Hettes, scientist, college professor, and author of Dispatches from the Couch, to explore how deeply buried childhood trauma can resurface in midlife—and how we begin to heal truly. We dig into the ACEs framework (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and how Dr. Hettes used it to make sense of emotional shutdown, people-pleasing, and her own journey through PTSD. With her background in neuroscience, she explains how trauma physically rewires the brain—especially the amygdala and hippocampus—and how therapy helped her retrain those fear-based circuits over time. This conversation challenges the idea that healing is quick or clean. We unpack what it means to "fawn" as a trauma response, why shame keeps us silent, and why therapy isn't about being fixed—it's about being seen. Dr. Hettes also shares how one triggering moment in adulthood cracked open decades of buried fear, and how that pain became a catalyst for growth. More than anything, she reminds us that healing begins not when we ask what happened to me, but what did it do to me—and what do I do next? ✨ This is one of a collection of tools to spark your own healing journey.

Use coupon code LEVELUP and get $50 off the new Lab 2.0. Mike Brady and Gary Blackwood reveal five popular solver strategies that actually hurt your win rate against real-life opponents. From misguided three-bets to weak river plays, they break down when and why “playing like a computer” can cost you money—and how to exploit human tendencies instead. View the written version of this episode here. 00:00 Tip 1 03:05 Tip 2 05:30 Tip 3 08:38 Tip 4 10:19 Tip 5 In this episode of Upswing Poker Level Up, hosts Mike Brady and Gary Blackwood break down five solver-approved strategies that often backfire in real-world poker games. While solvers have revolutionized modern strategy, they remind listeners that most human opponents don't play like perfectly balanced computers. The episode's focus is on identifying when to abandon solver logic and play exploitatively to maximize profits against typical players. The first tip targets the solver's polarized three-bet range from the big blind. While strong in theory, it fails against opponents who rarely fold, meaning speculative bluffs like Jack-Eight suited or King-Five suited simply bloat the pot unnecessarily. Tip two examines the “three-bet or fold” preflop strategy. Solvers favor aggression, but when weak players are in the blinds, calling instead of re-raising can increase expected value and keep those soft opponents in the pot. In tip three, the hosts challenge the solver's preference for checking back Aces and Kings on low boards. While this protects one's checking range in theory, it often leads to missed value when opponents are too passive to bet later streets. Tip four addresses bluffing the river with key blockers—an advanced concept that loses effectiveness against calling stations who refuse to fold top pair or better. Instead, players should simplify and focus on extracting value. Finally, tip five discusses block betting the river with nutted hands. Although solvers use small bets to induce raises, human opponents rarely raise thinly enough, turning what should be a value opportunity into a missed one. The takeaway: when you have the nuts, bet big. Throughout the episode, Mike and Gary emphasize the importance of adapting to opponents and conditions rather than following solvers blindly. Their message is clear—real profit comes from understanding why a strategy works and adjusting to human tendencies at the table.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s transforming how we understand public health education in this country: childhood trauma and its lifelong impact on the brain and body. For decades, adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, like abuse, neglect, or exposure to violence, were often seen as just social or emotional issues. But research has revealed the science of something much deeper: these experiences can rewire a child’s developing stress response system, leading to increased risks of chronic disease, mental health disorders, substance dependence, and even incarceration later in life. Joining us for this conversation is someone who’s pioneered the charge in translating that science into statewide action. As California’s very first Surgeon General, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris helped put childhood trauma at the center of public health policy. She not only trained tens of thousands of providers to screen for ACEs, but pushed for major changes like linking juvenile justice reform to health equity. Dr. Burke Harris She brings a clinician’s insight and an advocate’s persistence to a conversation that challenges us to think bigger about prevention, healing, and what it really means to create environments that build holistically healthy and stable children.
