Recovery Discovery | Origins of Addiction: Kahneman and "Murderbot"

In our follow-up to our "Noble Nematode" episode, we move into part 2 of our conversation on the origins of addiction. Craig brings in Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast and Slow," which differentiates between the subconscious (System 1) and conscious (System 2) mind as a framework. They explore how trauma and emotional states can trigger addictive behaviors, and how understanding these mechanisms can aid in recovery. DeAnn mentions a colleague's focus on food addiction, utilizing the substance use treatment behavioral understanding as a tool. And of course, DeAnn finds a reasonable, albeit loose connection to her recent binge-watch of "Murderbot".
