How is it that some people are able to enjoy a drink or smoke and do not get addicted? Why are some people unable to stop? It's all to do with the craving brain...
00:00 Intro - Dealing with craving is not a matter of willpower as it is an unconscious process of the survival response
01:50 Liam Payne - the stimulus of fame and then rejection is overwhelming to a sensitised brain
02:49 Not a moral failure - the importance of 12 step programmes to provide safety in a tribe but it often fails when people leave
04:39 Human brain is 3 brains in one - but the cognitive is only 10-15% of your functioning. The back brain is much more important in driving actions and behaviours
06:13 The way the craving brain works - the seeking system does not turn off in a sensitised brain because of low levels of serotonin - a neuroregulator
08:12 The neuroscience of craving - past chronic inescapable stresses makes the brain unable to regulate itself.
10:00 How medication, 12 step and psychotherapy intervene between the stressed brain and the response.
11:00 Biobalancing the brain with safety signals from the tribe when with others who support you.
13:00 What is stress? physical, hormonal, mental/emotional inputs combine together with childhood unconscious stress to change the brain and produce fear, worry and guilt.
15:00 Self-awareness is a double edged sword. Can create fear/anxiety originating from back brain beliefs and feelings which have been repressed
17:02 Some fears are hard-wired and along with experiences accumulate over time to drive a seeking brain.
18:84 How to create a sense of safety within using the power of touch to stimulate calming brainwaves - gamma, beta, alpha, theta, delta.
21:00 Some people are more susceptible to stress. We need to teach these psychosensory methods, particularly working with a practitioner.
