Breaking the Codependency Cycle | Dr. Anna Lembke

Dr. Anna Lembke, MD, is chief of the Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic at Stanford Medicine and a leading expert in how to overcome addictions of all kinds. We discuss dopamine dynamics in the brain and how they impact risk-taking, mental obsession, and compulsive behaviors. We also discuss the most common addiction of all—people’s addiction to control—how codependency is a common form of that and how prayer and spiritual practices can open up new neural pathways and help end unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors, including codependence. Anna is the author of the Dopamine Nation and
