ADDICTION SWITCHING. In this episode of the Came to Believe Recovery Podcast, the hosts discuss the concept of addiction switching, where individuals may replace one addiction with another, often without addressing the underlying issues. They explore the complexities of addiction, including the challenges of managing behaviors related to food, exercise, and other compulsive actions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the root causes of addiction and the need for a balanced approach to recovery that avoids simply substituting one addiction for another. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of addiction, discussing the nuances of mental and physical dependencies, the concept of addictive personalities, and the potential pitfalls of recovery, including service work and meeting dependency. They explore the impact of technology and social media on modern relationships and communication, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle and spiritual connection in the face of distractions. The discussion highlights the need for honesty and self-awareness in recovery, encouraging listeners to reflect on their behaviors and seek help when necessary.

"Shocking Dementia Symptom: When Common Objects Become Hazards!"

Those dealing with addiction can get categorized as bad people. Addiction certainly leads to sinful behavior, but to say those struggling are “just sinners” is a gross oversimplification. It is more accurate to call addiction a disease because most people don't want to be addicted—they are formed with deep, habitual responses they can no longer control. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi discuss how those dealing with addiction can heal from the hurts and unmet needs underlying their behavior through long apprenticeship to Jesus. Plus, we can all rally around those struggling, learn about their unique challenges, and love them with the compassion of Jesus.Resources for this Episode:Attend a Soul Shepherding Institute RetreatMeet with a Soul Shepherding Sr. Spiritual DirectorEarn a Certificate in Spiritual DirectionDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction, Melina introduces the episode and welcomes Prince Ghuman as the guest. They discuss the intersection of behavioral science and marketing and Prince's background in the field. 00:02:08 - Prince's Background and Playbook, Prince shares his journey into the world of behavioral science and marketing. He discusses his experience working at startups and established corporations, as well as his transition to becoming a professor. Prince highlights the importance of neuroscience and psychology in marketing and mentions the playbook he developed over the years. 00:06:12 - Principles vs. Hard Science in Neuromarketing, Prince explains the division between principles and hard science in neuromarketing. He emphasizes the significance of understanding the principles of human behavior and psychology in marketing, even if neuroimaging is not accessible to all marketers. 00:08:23 - The Importance of Principles in Neuromarketing, Prince discusses the importance of principles in neuromarketing and how they can be applied to improve marketing strategies. He mentions the lack of emphasis on neuroscience and psychology in traditional marketing curricula and highlights the need for more practical applications of behavioral science in marketing. 00:10:00 - Applying Decision-Making Science to Marketing, Prince mentions the book Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and its significance in understanding decision-making. However, he emphasizes the need for tactics and practical applications of decision-making science in marketing and customer experiences. He envisions a future where neuromarketing principles are integrated. 00:15:00 - Evolution of Marketing and A/B Testing, The conversation begins with a discussion about the evolution of marketing and the use of A/B testing. The guest emphasizes the importance of understanding the psychological underpinnings behind marketing strategies and conducting more scientifically informed tests. 00:16:30 - Why We Like What We Like, The guest introduces the concept of the mere exposure effect, which states that the more we are exposed to something, the more likely we are to prefer it. They also discuss the idea of "new and safe," where people are attracted to things that are both novel and familiar. Understanding this concept can help brands come up with better product tests and launch strategies. 00:18:16 - The Psychological Context of Product Adoption, The guest explains how the psychological context of product adoption is often overlooked. Early adopters are more accepting of imbalances between new and safe, while late adopters prefer safety. Understanding this can help brand managers tailor their launch strategies and target different segments of the market. 00:21:14 - Using Familiarity and Novelty in Product Launches, The guest uses the example of Oreo cookies to illustrate how brands can incorporate familiarity and novelty to attract mass market appeal. By sandwiching a new flavor between familiar elements, brands can grab attention and break through established patterns, even if the new flavor itself doesn't sell well. 00:24:34 - Pleasure in Pattern Recognition, Prince addresses a question about why humans derive pleasure from pattern recognition. 00:29:31 - The Use of Game Mechanics in Engagement, The guest talks about how game mechanics are being used across various genres of games to increase engagement. He gives examples of sports games like NBA, soccer, FIFA, and NFL, as well as board games like Monopoly. Unpredictability is a key factor in increasing engagement, and this is seen in social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, where users are constantly scrolling to see what comes up next in their feed. 00:30:46 - Engagement 2.0 and Compulsive Behavior, The guest discusses how engagement in digital products, like social media apps, can lead to compulsive behavior. The unpredictability of what comes next on these platforms keeps users engaged and scrolling. He emphasizes that engagement is only a few steps away from compulsive behavior and explains why some apps have come under fire for exploiting this. 00:34:57 - The Role of Users in Data Science and Behavior Modeling, The guest points out that while tech companies are often criticized for using data science unethically, users also play a role in this behavior modeling. He suggests that consumers need to be willing to pay for digital products and services if they want to see a change in the way data science is used. He compares it to the organic food movement, where consumers demanded and paid a premium for healthier options. 00:36:27 - Marketers' Responsibility in Understanding Neuroscience, The guest emphasizes the importance for marketers to understand neuroscience and psychology in order to create better products and experiences for consumers. 00:43:10 - Importance of Understanding Your Customers, Understanding your customers' goals and communication preferences is crucial in business. Avoid comparing yourself to others and focus on meeting your customers' needs. This is the foundation of Melina Palmer's book What Your Customer Wants and Can't Tell You. 00:43:37 - Conclusion, Melina's top insights from the conversation.

How are habits – both good and bad – formed in the brain, and what role do habits play in diseases of the brain? These are some of the questions neuroscientist, Talia Lerner, PhD, is investigating in her lab. Her recent study, published in Cell Reports, may change the overall understanding of how habits are formed and could be broken.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.31.514533v1?rss=1 Authors: Stewart, A., Davis, G. L., Areal, L. B., Rabil, M. J., Tran, V., Mayer, F. P., Blakely, R. D. Abstract: Identified across multiple psychiatric disorders, the dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT) Ala559Val substitution triggers non-vesicular, anomalous DA efflux (ADE), perturbing DA neurotransmission and behavior. We have shown that DAT Val559 mice display a waiting impulsivity and changes in cognitive performance associated with enhanced reward motivation. Here, utilizing a within-subject, lever-pressing paradigm designed to bias the formation of goal-directed or habitual behavior, we demonstrate that DAT Val559 mice modulate their nose-poke behavior appropriately to match context, but demonstrate a perseverative checking behavior. Although DAT Val559 mice display no issues with the cognitive flexibility required to acquire and re-learn a visual pair-wise discrimination task, devaluation of reward evoked habitual reward seeking in DAT Val559 mutants in operant tasks regardless of reinforcement schedule. The direct DA agonist apomorphine also elicits locomotor stereotypies in DAT Val559, but not WT mice. Our observation that dendritic spine density is increased in the dorsal medial striatum (DMS) of DAT Val559 mice speaks to an imbalance in striatal circuitry that might underlie the propensity of DAT Val559 mutants to exhibit compulsive behaviors when reward is devalued. Thus, DAT Val559 mice represent a model for dissection of how altered DA signaling perturbs circuits that normally balance habitual and goal-directed behaviors.

We probably started to learn about being "responsible" at a young age. Our guardians, teachers, and employers may have used the word numerous times, reminding us to hold ourselves accountable. But what does responsibility look like now that we're in recovery? Craig Nakken can help. In his book The Addictive Personality: Understanding the Addictive Process and Compulsive Behavior, Nakken helps people understand the process of addiction as well as the progressive nature of the disease and how to be healthy and happy and sober. We can use Nakken's insights&--including those having to do with the value of responsibility--to keep building a successful recovery.

His porn consumption escalated without his parents' knowledge, and by the time he was 11, he says he was consuming porn five to seven times per day. His porn consumption and the shame that he felt because of it were two factors that led him to want to end his own life. Smith made a suicide plan, but he says he didn't want to go through with it when he learned about Fight the New Drug.

Francine Glasser is a Clinical Social Worker and Therapist who recently published a memoir, "Shards of Glass: A Kaleidoscopic Life's Memoir," about her experiences as a child and how she took a path to healing from her difficult experiences.A bit about her book: Because her family constantly had to flee the repercussions of her father's gambling addiction, Francine Glasser was consigned to a childhood devoid of connection and marked by loss after loss of everything she cherished. Friends, relatives, pets, and possessions were left behind each time her family ran from debt collectors, sometimes in the middle of the night, and left town for yet another hopeless new start. For Francine, painful memories of those rootless years were like the fragments of color, light, and darkness in a kaleidoscope. But years later, clinging to her love for the father responsible for her lost childhood, those shards of glass would reorganize into patterns of forgiveness, stability, beauty, and peace.This book was conceived long ago, because Francine had always wanted to tell the story of her search for a forever home. Years later, as a practicing psychotherapist and social worker her life was invested in hearing the stories and traumas of those whom she counseled and helped make peace with their past. In this book, Francine has sought to make peace with her own past by introducing readers to all the important people, places, and things in her life on the run. Today, she is home at last, yet struggling with symptoms of Agoraphobia. The pieces of a child's shattered life, as seen through the metaphor of a kaleidoscope, have finally come together to complete this part of her story.Here's Francine's beautiful reading at the Greenkill Gallery, complete with some of the images from her past that she references.In the first half of the show, I share some thoughts about private/public, productive/non-productive time inspired by a conference on Hannah Arendt, and read from an interview by past guest JoAnn Stevelos which explores subjects like addiction and depression.

In his book The Addictive Personality: Understanding the Addictive Process and Compulsive Behavior, Craig Nakken discusses the genetic factors, cultural influences, and progressive nature of substance use disorders to help readers understand the process of addiction. In this excerpt, we explore two practices that are beneficial in the early stages of recovery: defining abstinence and developing positive rituals.

Today we talk about combating compulsive behavior in your recovery. We hope you Enjoy!

Unhealthy and isolating rituals were part of our experience of addiction. Healthy rituals that connect us with others must be part of our recovery. Addictive Personality: Understanding the Addictive Process and Compulsive Behavior, by Craig Nakken, describes the two-sided personality we developed through our addiction and offers insights that can help us navigate the journey of wholeness and recovery.

Trigger Warning: This discussion includes frank, explicit discussions of abuse and pornographic content that may be triggering to some. Listener discretion is advised.As a child, Theodosia suffered sexual abuse from an older, trusted woman in her life. To cope, she created the idea in her mind that if consent didn’t exist, she could not be violated. The trauma from the abuse later fed into violent and abusive romantic relationships, and eventually to a boyfriend introducing her to the world of pornography. Listen to Theodosia’s story about how her childhood sexual abuse shaped her understanding of sex, paved the way for her career in the underground world of BDSM pornography, and why she eventually left the porn industry on her own terms.Click here to learn more about the guest, and access the resources discussed in this episode.To learn more about the harms of pornography on consumers, relationships, and its larger societal impacts, visit FTND.org.To support this podcast, click here or text CONSIDER to 43506.As you go about your day we invite you to increase your self-awareness, look both ways, check your blindspots, and consider before consuming.

Today's question comes from Valerie via Instagram:I have a random question. This morning I was doing some overthinking (as per usual) and I remembered an episode where you discussed that when you were interested in someone you’d stare at them. I always thought I was the only one who did this and I was wondering what steps you might’ve taken to overcome this?I answer Valerie's question in my typical roundabout way, first delving into why we may find it hard to stop staring at a crush, what makes staring so irresistible in the first place, and then tips on how to stop. I incorporate, as always, my autistic, neurodivergent perspective on this topic.

Lynne was first exposed to pornography when she stumbled upon it on the family computer when she was 8 years old. She didn’t seek it out again until she was a teenager, when at the age of 16, she experienced a traumatic event that resulted in her turning to porn as a coping mechanism. Her porn consumption escalated throughout her years in college where it affected her relationships and pursuit of hobbies. Her addiction pushed her deeper and deeper into isolation, until she got the courage to tell the truth about her struggle to her boyfriend. Hear Lynne explain to podcast host, Garrett Jonsson, about her experience struggling with pornography and how the understanding and support of loved ones has lead her to be porn-free for over 270 days. Click here to access the resources discussed in this episode.To learn more about the harms of pornography on consumers, relationships, and its larger societal impacts, visit FTND.org.To support this podcast, click here or text CONSIDER to 43506.As you go about your day we invite you to increase your self-awareness, look both ways, check your blindspots, and consider before consuming.

The Law of Compulsive Behavior - The Laws of Human NatureHow to Determine the Strength of People's Character"When choosing people to work and associate with, do not be mesmerized by their reputation or taken in by the surface image they try to project. Instead, train yourself to look deep within them and see their character. People's character is formed in their earliest years and by their daily habits. It is what compels them to repeat certain actions in their lives and fall into negative patterns. Look closely at such patterns and remember that people never do something just once. They will inevitably repeat their behavior. Guage the relative strength of their character by how well they handle adversity, their ability to adapt and work with other people, their patience, and ability to learn. Always gravitate toward those who display signs of strength, and avoid the many toxic types out there. Know thoroughly your own character so you can break your compulsive patterns and take control of your destiny."What Bryant to Coach You? - The Good Life Playbook (learn.bryantchambers.com)Want to change your life in 30 Days? - 30 Day Change Your Life Challenge (30days.bryantchambers.com)READ Page 102 Highlights - How to Avoid Toxic People?

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.07.06.190553v1?rss=1 Authors: Davis, G. L., Minerva, A. R., Lario, A., Rodriguez, C. I., Gunaydin, L. A. Abstract: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), characterized by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions), is associated with dysfunction in fronto-striatal circuits. There are currently no fast-acting pharmacological treatments for OCD. However, recent clinical studies demonstrated that an intravenous infusion of ketamine rapidly reduces OCD symptoms. To probe mechanisms underlying ketamine's therapeutic effect on OCD-like behaviors, we used the SAPAP3 knockout (KO) mouse model of compulsive grooming. Here we recapitulate the fast-acting therapeutic effect of ketamine on compulsive behavior, and show that ketamine increases activity of dorsomedial prefrontal neurons projecting to the dorsomedial striatum in KO mice. Optogenetically mimicking this increase in fronto-striatal activity rescued compulsive grooming behavior in KO mice. Conversely, inhibiting this circuit in wild-type mice increased grooming. These studies demonstrate that ketamine increases activity in a fronto-striatal circuit that causally controls compulsive grooming behavior, suggesting this circuit may be important for ketamine's therapeutic effects in OCD.

Lamar Odom is one of the most prominent professional athletes to go public with his decision to stop watching porn. After telling TMZ Sports that he had given up porn as part of building a healthier lifestyle for himself, we sat down with the former NBA star near his birthplace of Queens, New York.

I've got two tools that are seemingly straightforward in helping you break any of your ingrained numbing habits, but it's going to require lots of practice in order to use them to your advantage. Breaking habituated patterns takes effort because most of the time it's happening unconsciously, and it often makes us feel anxious when we act against our own will, which is why these tools are going to be challenging but life-changing.

Working on bringing awareness to compulsive behaviors means being able to enjoy these activities mindfully, without the end goal of numbing. I'm focusing on the distinction that exists, and why we feel the need to get a break from our feelings, which is totally normal. Stay tuned because next week, I'll be teaching you how to start changing these habits if you want to. Get full show notes and more information here: https://unfuckyourbrain.com/91

The holiday season is upon us (even though Thanksgiving has not yet arrived). And if you're a parent, one of the toughest things is dealing with the commercial, buy-buy-want-want aspect that commercialism has pumped into the season. I'm delighted to welcome back our regular visitor, Greg Milk -- Option Mentor, father of four, "Autism Awareness Avenger" and a wise and very funny man -- who shares his ideas about how to make the holidays more meaningful, less stressful, and more deeply appreciated by parents and children alike. This one is for all the parents out there!

  We spend a lot of time and money on the treatment of chemical addictions but often not enough on the subtler process addictions; things like compulsive gambling, spending, hoarding, or eating, and least of all on compulsive sexual behavior.  Process addictions don't come to our attention often until they are well beyond crisis because they are so neatly masked by the notion of normalcy.  But like it's cousin alcoholism, sexual addiction fills it's sufferers with shame, ruins lives and destroys relationships.  Join us tonight to hear a story of hope and recovery from sexual addiction.

This week, we look at the summer beach novel, preferably a mystery with clues, characters, steamy scenes and exotic locales. We'll find all that and more with the help of Indy, Compulsive Behavior, Sexmusic, Benzene Vapours and Grzyb.

This 20th episode of Idyllic Music reminds me how utterly universal a language music is.We'll hear recordings from Russia, the U.S. France and the U.K. from the likes of Compulsive Behavior, Victoria Mosley and The Sublimes, Cyndi Vellmure and a Coisa Louca.

Compulsive behavior is anything that you do against your higher intentions. (Doing what you don't want or not doing what you do want.) These behaviors are often involuntary because they run on primal biological drives... but that doesn't mean you need to be a slave to them. In this episode we speak specifically on porn addiction and "laziness" as they show the different extremes of compulsion. We cover the biology of desire, behavior-hormonal correlation, and practical actions for overcoming compulsion.
