Luis and Psychologist Mackenzie Steiner dive deep into their own truths about minors surgically transitioning, who *actually* is trans, de-transition rates, how dysmorphia shows up in the brain, gender dysphoria, and gender affirming care options for children. They share wisdom and stories from their own individual experiences with body dysmorphia, and how they navigated the experience. Each opted for surgery as adults. The real gold is their respectful disagreement on if kids should be given gender affirming surgical procedures. In the end each still holds their same beliefs, but with a deeper understanding of why the other holds their opposing belief. You can read more about Mackenzie and her work here: https://naturesmosaictherapy.com/You can listen to related episodes here:[Ep. 225] "My Body Is Female, I'm Not": Using Somatics To Explore Gender w/ Quinn Silverleaf[Ep. 261] "Ayahuasca Told Me To De-Transition" Born Female, Living As Male, Then Back To Female w/ Maddie Durbin[Ep. 346] Kids + Dysphoria: It Doesn't Always Mean They're Trans[Ep. 347] Let's Talk About Dysphoria In KidsYou can register for the Embodied Parenting webinar here: https://hln.thinkific.com/courses/embodied-parenting-webinarYou can also read more about, and register for, the 6 month program here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/parenting-group You can read more about, and register for, the workshop at Kripalu here: https://kripalu.org/experiences/food-therapy-how-eat-your-nervous-system----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Description:Mary Pipher has spent her whole career noticing the gap between what the culture says is happening to women and what is actually happening to them. She did it in her thirties with Reviving Ophelia, and she did it again decades later with Women Rowing North. In this Sacred Work encore, Jen sits down with the clinical psychologist and author of eleven books to talk about the second half of life and what it actually asks of you. Mary makes the case that women get happier as they age, and she has the research to back it up, along with a story about two locker rooms that lands harder than any statistic. She also talks about thanking her own worn out hands for a lifetime of work, why reasonable expectations are the one thing happy people everywhere share, and the line Jen has not been able to shake since: we all age, but we do not all grow. Only one of those is up to you.Thought-provoking Quotes:We all age but we don't all grow.If you don't become better you become bitter. You either grow or you shrink.You should thank your hands for all the work they have done for you.We all find what we're looking for.I have everything I need to be happy right between my ears.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Women Rowing North: Navigating Life's Currents and Flourishing As We Age by Mary PipherReviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls by Mary PipherA Life in Light: Meditations on Impermanence by Mary PipherThe Second Sex by Simone de BeauvoirComplete list of Mary Pipher's books: https://marypipher.com/booksMargaret Mead's idea of post menopausal zestJane Jarvis, American jazz pianist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_JarvisGuest's Links:Website - https://marypipher.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/authormarypipherConnect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmakerThe For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

Who are you when your role at work changes? Psychologist and author Marisa Franco, PhD rejoins us to discuss her new book Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Attachment. We explore self-worth, identity, relationships, and the challenge of becoming someone new. She explains why our sense of worth often becomes attached to achievement and professional identity, and why major transitions such as retirement can shake that foundation. Marisa Franco offers a different approach: develop a sense of worth that isn't dependent on remaining who you've always been. ________________________ Bio An enlightening psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and TED speaker, Dr. Marisa G. Franco is known for digesting and communicating science in ways that resonate deeply enough with people to change their lives. Dr. Franco works as a professor at The University of Maryland and authored the New York Times bestseller Platonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make – and Keep – Friends and her new book Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Attachment. She writes about relationships for Psychology Today and has been a featured connection expert for major publications like The New York Times, The Telegraph, and Vice. Dr. Franco speaks on how to build relationships with yourself and others at corporations, government agencies, non-profits, and universities across the country, including Harper Collins Publishers, Cisco, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and The Department of State. _________________________ For More on Marisa G. Franco, PhD Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Attachment Website Her first visit with us on her book Platonic about making friends as an adult ___________________________ Open to another take on worth? (Highly recommend) Taylor Mali – What Teachers Make (3 minute video) ___________________________ Other Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Love Self-Compassion – Dr. Kristin Neff Shift – Ethan Kross ___________________________ Wise Quotes  On Contingent Worth “We're very much taught to have a contingent sense of self-worth: I am worthy if… I'm worthy if I have this job. I'm worthy if I'm in this relationship. I'm worthy if I have this financial stability perhaps. And so that contingent self-worth means that when we don't have those things, we no longer feel worthy. What I am proposing is a non-contingent sense of self-worth—a sense of self-worth that is there no matter who you are, no matter what happens to you.” On Identity & Reinvention “What I counterintuitively suggest is to allow yourself to not know yourself. You can allow your sense of self to be fluid in each moment, and you don't have to be who you've always been, but you can still have high regard for yourself. Whoever I am in each moment is okay.” On Possibility Within Loss “If you were to see this loss as an offering in some way, what would make this an offering? Is this giving you more time to spend with your friends? Is it taking you out of a workplace that maybe wasn't working for you? Is it allowing you more time to engage in an interest or passion that you've always wanted to engage in?” _______________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

Moriah Thomas spent years studying the human mind and treating trauma. Then she found Jesus at 39—and began discovering a kind of healing she had never been taught in psychology. Moriah holds multiple degrees in psychology and counseling, including a doctorate. But after coming to faith, she began hearing the voice of God, seeing angels and the spiritual realm, praying in tongues, experiencing deliverance, and pursuing the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Then her understanding of trauma began to change.Today, Moriah helps people uncover wounds and beliefs that may have been buried for years—not simply by teaching them how to cope, but by helping them quiet their minds, listen for Jesus, and allow Him to speak truth into the places that still hurt.In this conversation, Moriah and Stacy explore the difference between managing trauma and healing it, how to recognize the voice of God, what Moriah sees in the spiritual realm, and why she believes many Christians are living with far less freedom and intimacy with Jesus than is available to them.Stacy also shares what happened when he personally went through one of Moriah's two-hour freedom sessions—and Jesus brought up something from his childhood he hadn't thought about in decades.

If love makes you suspicious, compliments make you uncomfortable, and happiness makes you wait for something bad to happen…this episode might explain your entire life. Because what if your insecurity isn't a personality flaw? What if your brain learned, somewhere along the way, that feeling good about yourself is dangerous? Psychologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Marisa Franco is back with fascinating new science about why insecurity can survive years of therapy, affirmations, self-help, and “working on yourself” (and what can finally begin to change it). Here's the mind-bending part: Your memories don't just record your past. They predict your future. And when your brain expects rejection, humiliation, or abandonment, even love and success can feel threatening. But those old memories aren't necessarily fixed. Dr. Franco explains how the science of memory reconsolidation may help change the way the past continues to live inside you. You'll learn: Why compliments, love, and success can actually make you feel worse Why you can feel deeply insecure even when you can't explain why How old memories can quietly shape what you expect from yourself and others How memory reconsolidation can begin changing the emotional impact of the past Why affirmations sometimes backfire when you have low self-worth How to recognize when deeper support may be the right next step If you've spent years trying to “love yourself” and wondering why nothing seems to stick, you need to hear this. You may not need another pep talk. You may finally need to understand what your brain has been trying to protect you from. Xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self P.S.

We're raising children in a world our parents never had to navigate—one shaped by algorithms, social media comparison, constant stimulation, and an unprecedented pressure to perform. Dr. Shefali calls this phenomenon "algorithmic abduction": the ways technology can quietly shape our children's identities, attention, relationships, and sense of self. But while the world around our children has radically changed, many of our parenting models haven't. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Shefali explores the growing crisis facing today's boys and girls. Dr. Shefali has written two books on raising conscious boys and girls, and is on to discuss why she wrote these books now and what we can learn from them. This is an essential conversation for every parent, educator, and anyone who cares about the next generation.

After more than forty years working as a psychologist and executive coach, Dr. David Zelman has become fascinated by one question: how do we stop allowing the past to determine what we believe is possible next?In this conversation, David explores the internal dialogue shaping our decisions, why awareness has to come before another tool or technique, and how we can create conversations that pull us toward the lives we actually want.We also explore anxiety, meditation and self-awareness, why two competing conversations can't occupy the same mental space, and the remarkable story of how David transformed his relationship with his father by changing one deeply held interpretation.David also shares his definition of readiness—the moment willingness meets awareness—and why he believes asking "what?" and "how?" can sometimes move us forward more effectively than asking "why?"EXCITING STUFF!My second book now available for pre-order!

I sat down with clinical psychologist and energy healing coach Nicole Parkes to talk about how her own autism and ADHD diagnoses changed the way she works with clients. We get into what it feels like when pathological demand avoidance (PDA) takes over, why talk therapy alone wasn't enough to help her heal from trauma, and the particular exhaustion of chronic illness layered on top of neurodivergence. Nicole also opens up about a more recent chapter of self-discovery that surprised her, and shares something her own coach once told her that changed how she sees her whole life. This episode goes to some unexpected places, and I think you may come away from it thinking differently about what it means to be wired the way you are. Find Nicole at nicoleparkescoaching.com or on Instagram @nicoleparkescoaching.All episodes written and produced by Kristen Hovet.Send in your questions to otherautism@gmail.com Buy me a coffee!Book a life-coaching session with me!The views, opinions, and experiences shared by guests on this podcast are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the host or production team.

What drives antisemitism—and why are conspiracy theories so often at its core?Rabbi Daniel Levine speaks with Rutgers psychology professor Dr. Kent Harber about the psychological origins of antisemitism, conspiratorial thinking, and the relationship between anti-Zionism and anti-Jewish prejudice.Drawing on experimental social psychology and new longitudinal research, Dr. Harber explains why people become more vulnerable to conspiracy theories during periods of fear, uncertainty, social isolation, and personal insecurity. They explore why Jews have historically been portrayed not merely as an “outsider” group, but as a secretive and powerful force supposedly manipulating politics, finance, society, and world events.The conversation also examines groundbreaking research into the overlap between antisemitism and anti-Israel attitudes. Across three studies, researchers found that conspiracy beliefs formed the critical bridge between traditional anti-Jewish prejudice and later hostility toward Israel. Their findings suggest that antisemitism transmitted through conspiracy thinking accounted for approximately 55% of the anti-Israel attitudes measured—while stopping short of claiming that every criticism of Israel or every anti-Zionist position is antisemitic.Topics include:• Why humans are drawn to conspiracy theories• The connection between insecurity, fear, and conspiratorial thinking• Why antisemitism uniquely portrays a vulnerable minority as secretly powerful• The historical psychology of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories• The relationship between antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and anti-Israel activism• How conspiracy beliefs connect anti-Jewish and anti-Israel attitudes• Campus antisemitism before and after October 7• The difference between legitimate criticism of Israel and antisemitic hostility• The IHRA definition of antisemitism• Antisemitism within psychology, academia, and social-justice movements• What universities and institutions can do to recognize anti-Jewish discriminationCan anti-Zionism function as a socially acceptable outlet for antisemitism? Can criticism of Israel remain entirely separate from prejudice against Jews? And what does the scientific evidence actually show?Watch the full conversation, share your perspective in the comments, and subscribe for more thoughtful discussions about Judaism, Israel, Jewish history, psychology, politics, and contemporary antisemitism.#Antisemitism #AntiZionism #ConspiracyTheories #Israel #JewishHistory #Psychology #SocialPsychology #October7 #CampusAntisemitism #Zionism #JewishPodcast #IHRA

Could assessment be the key to growing your practice? Are there ways to ethically offer testing in your practice, even if you don't employ a psychologist? How can you use testing to scale your practice without compromising care? In this episode, Joe Sanok talks with Dr. Casey Mangnall about how psychological assessment helped her grow the Utah Center for Psychological Services from a side gig into a seven-figure practice in just three years. They explore how private practitioners can determine whether testing is a natural fit for their existing services and how to integrate assessment ethically without turning it into a high-volume, transactional service. Casey shares practical advice on choosing appropriate testing protocols, knowing when a psychologist is required, working with insurance and billers, and using assessment relationships to build referral networks. She also explains why thorough testing can provide clients with a deeper understanding of themselves and help guide more effective treatment.  

Santina Cilento works as a school psychologist, so she knew what OCD was. What she didn't realize was that she had been living with it herself for years. The rigid rules, the need for certain numbers, the routines she thought were just personality quirks — none of it registered as OCD until the disorder shifted toward her health and became impossible to ignore.In this episode of the Get to Know OCD podcast, Santina joins Dr. Patrick McGrath to talk about how health OCD took over her life, why constant checking never gave her lasting reassurance, plus how she eventually found the right diagnosis and treatment after spending years thinking she was simply dealing with anxiety.At NOCD, we specialize in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD—a treatment that can help you live a fulfilling life.

Perinatal mental health is often a misunderstood landscape shaped by stigma, cultural expectations, and invisible struggles that touch entire families. In this replay episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker sits down with Dr. Kat Kaeni, perinatal mental health certified psychologist, author of The Pregnancy Workbook, and host of the Mom & Mind podcast, to break the silence around postpartum anxiety, depression, OCD, and psychosis.

36% of young men believe no one will ever love them. Dating app usage is falling. Synthetic relationships with AI are on the rise. This isn't just a cultural shift — it's a full-scale dating recession, and most men don't know why it's happening to them.

Cross-examination turned into a credibility audit in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial this week. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the deaths of her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing insanity: severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington took his shot at Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, the prosecution's forensic psychologist, and didn't waste time. First point: the evaluation happened about three years after the killings — and Heilbrun himself agreed that sooner is better for assessing someone's mental state after an offense. Second point: Heilbrun's direct experience treating mothers who killed their children came from roughly 44 years ago, four or five patients total. Not exactly current caseload material.Then Reddington opened the CV — about 70 pages of it — and read the gaps into the record. Plenty on juveniles, on prisoners reintegrating into society, on sexual abuse. Nothing on pregnancy. Nothing on postpartum depression or psychosis. Heilbrun confirmed he's coached both prosecution and defense on how to present expert testimony, but Reddington made the point that his actual career has run mostly through prosecutors and corrections. Heilbrun also testified he never met co-evaluator Avram Mack in person until they crossed paths at Tewksbury Hospital, and that his total contact with Clancy amounted to 10.5 hours spread across three days.Afterward, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy, out running errands that day, has since relocated to Manhattan.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, is back in Plymouth Superior Court, and this week the prosecution brought out its heaviest hitter yet. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Monday got messy before the end. Reddington moved for a mistrial after "mortal sin" came up for the second time from the prosecution's side. Judge William Sullivan said no, but told jurors to strike anything about sin or religiosity from Dr. Kirk Heilbrun's testimony — and made it clear the prosecution needed to keep their own witness on a shorter leash.

Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist called by the prosecution, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Heilbrun evaluated Clancy three years after the killings, and testified she tended to underreport or minimize her own symptoms — which, coming from a rebuttal witness, is not a throwaway line. He didn't dispute that her suicide attempt was serious; he said the opposite, noting she remains on one-to-one suicide precautions at Tewksbury and is still considered at risk. What he disputed is the cause of the children's deat

Bands rarely fall apart because somebody missed a chord.They fall apart because expectations about money, gigs, rehearsals, song choices, musical standards, commitment, and leadership go unspoken until somebody finally blows up.This week, we brought in somebody who actually knows what he's talking about.Dr. Jesse Erdheim is an industrial-organizational psychologist and wellbeing coach with more than 20 years of experience working with motivation, conflict, burnout, leadership, and change. He also fronts a working classic-rock cover band—so he understands band dysfunction from both sides.We talk about:*Why bands are uniquely difficult organizations*How mismatched expectations turn into resentment*How to give musical criticism without destroying morale*What psychological safety actually looks like in a band*Why emotional regulation matters before a difficult conversation*What to do when your band culture has already become unhealthyOne of the biggest lessons: sometimes the explosion you think came out of nowhere actually started months earlier when everyone stopped checking whether they were still working toward the same goal. Jesse describes his own experience with a guitarist whose frustration over money and travel finally erupted at a show—and how that changed the way his band communicates with new members.If you're a band leader, working musician, or anyone currently sitting in a group text wondering “How the hell did we get here?”—this episode is for you.More from Dr. Jesse Erdheim:jesseerdheim.comUpcoming book: A Full Cup: Reflections on Living WellJesse also fronts The Backroads, a Durham-area cover band performing around Durham, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough.https://www.facebook.com/thebackroadsdurham/https://www.instagram.com/the.back.roads__/#CoverBand #BandDrama #WorkingMusician #BandLeader #musicbusiness 00:00 Podcast kickoff00:55 Meet Dr Jesse01:53 From GNR to gigging03:48 Band leadership style05:37 Shared vision basics08:14 Why bands are hard10:21 Gig meltdown story12:44 Assumptions and alignment17:47 Common band problems23:20 Giving feedback safely27:16 Trust Bank Accounts27:44 Giving Notes With Care28:25 Adaptability Over Control30:02 Does The Audience Care31:03 Perfectionism And Perspective31:58 Are Musicians Different34:54 Win Win Band Leadership37:30 Pre Show Regulation Routine39:38 Time Confetti Planning42:09 Hard Conversations Toolkit45:30 Stop Rumination Loops49:59 Relationships And Wrap Up

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is standing trial in Plymouth Superior Court for the deaths of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan. Prosecutors allege she strangled them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, then allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Wednesday's testimony picked up right where the defense wanted it to. Clinical psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel, called by Reddington, told jurors Clancy was gripped by intrusive thoughts so persistent she believed people could hear them — and that if they did, her children would be taken from her. She called a suicide hotline twice in December and was turned away because she didn't have a plan, which apparently was the bar. Zeizel didn't sugarcoat what these thoughts do to a person: they don't ease up, they don't take breaks, and by January, his testimony went, they'd escalated into her mind telling her to kill herself. He also made a point jurors will have to sit with — that someone can be in psychosis and still function well enough to get through a day.

Two state troopers outside the door. A court order just to get in the room. That's the scene Dr. Paul Zeizel, Lindsay Clancy's clinical psychologist, described today at the Duxbury mother's murder trial, testifying about the first time he was allowed to see her in the surgical ICU after the killings. Clancy is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Zeizel, who's met with Clancy more than 40 times, said that once he finally got access on February 4, she was handcuffed to the bed, disoriented about time and place but clear on who she was. She remembered the killings only faintly. He let her use his own phone to reach her husband Patrick — the first call went unanswered, the second got through — and on it she told Patrick she loved him, then described hearing a male voice commanding her to kill their children and herself. Zeizel testified he saw no sign she was lying, and noted that hearing voices shows up in roughly 80% of people experiencing psychosis. He also clarified the limits of his own role: psychologists handle testing, therapy, and treatment, but not medication.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy has since relocated to Manhattan. Zeizel returns to the stand Wednesday morning in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Paul Zeizel, Lindsay Clancy's longtime clinical psychologist, took the stand today in the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother's murder trial — and gave jurors the closest thing yet to Clancy's own account of what happened inside that Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy is accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Zeizel testified he'd seen Clancy more than 40 times before that day. He wasn't allowed near her in the surgical ICU until a court order got him in at 12:30 p.m. on February 4 — by then she was handcuffed to the bed, two state troopers posted outside the door. He said she didn't know where she was or what day it was, but she knew her own name, and she remembered the killings, faintly, like something seen through fog. He let her use his phone to call her husband Patrick — twice, the first time going unanswered — and she told Patrick she loved him, then said a male voice had ordered her to kill their children and then herself. Zeizel didn't think she was lying. He also testified that roughly 80% of people experiencing psychosis report hearing voices.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy has since relocated to Manhattan. Zeizel's testimony resumes Wednesday. Trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

My guest today is an addiction expert, but I interest myself more in the concept of compulsions. I may have something I habitually do that is not necessarily harming anyone else, and is arguably not harming me in a direct sense, which is generally how we define addictions. But a compulsion may be something that I keep doing that may keep me from other, healthier activities. It may own me more than I own it. And more importantly, what we find is that addiction and compulsions are generally not being done for pleasure, but to mask or numb emotions we haven't or don't want to deal with. Adi Jaffe is a psychologist and author. His research and clinical frameworks challenge the one-size-fits-all, abstinence-only model of addiction recovery and replaces it with an individualized, evidence-based approach to lasting behavior change. Adi's authority is earned on both sides of the problem. Before his doctorate and the published research, Adi spent years inside his own methamphetamine addiction — an arc that ran through dealing, arrest, and jail before it ran through UCLA. That combination of lived experience and formal science is the foundation from which our discussion comes from. He has a new book, Unhooked: Free Yourself from Addiction Forever. I invite you to listen to this episode and consider your compulsions, if not addictions, and what you may be trying to artificially address, and why.
