In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts

Nov. 17. 17 @ 6:15 pm - 8:00 pm

Contrary to what is often claimed, the source of addictions is not to be found in genes, but in the early childhood environment where the neurobiology of the brains reward pathways develop and where the emotional patterns that lead to addiction are wired into the unconscious.

Stress, both then and later in life, creates the predisposition for addictions, whether to drugs, alcohol, nicotine, or to behavioural addictions such as shopping or sex.

You will learn:
What is the source of addictions?
What happens chemically and physiologically in the brains of people with substance dependency or behaviour addiction?
The false blessings of addiction as experienced by the addict
The development of the addicted mind: how early childhood experiences shape the brain
