Addiction & Chasing The Dopamine Rush | EP32

Addiction & Chasing The Dopamine Rush | EP32

In this episode, we are in the same room for the very first time on this podcast, so we're bringing you a preview of our live show in Cardiff! Many Neurodivergent people struggle with impulse control and addiction, something we have both struggled with throughout our journeys. We share our personal experiences with addiction to phones and social media, food, video games, plus we talk the need for balance and self-awareness when it comes to addictive behaviours and the dangers of Neurodivergent people chasing the buzz of a dopamine high through narcotics.


Takeaways


  • The need for dopamine and the desire for instant gratification can contribute to addictive behaviours.
  • Co-dependency in relationships can be both healthy and unhealthy, depending on the individuals involved.
  • Finding a balance and practicing self-awareness are important in managing addictive behaviours.
  • It's important to be aware of one's own addictive tendencies and seek help if needed.
