Скачать или смотреть ADHD, Dopamine, and Our Need to Escape Reality

You sit down to do the thing… and the “just for a second” escape hatch opens. This video explains why that pull isn’t just laziness or weak willpower—it’s dopamine doing a logical job: ranking reality by what feels immediately rewarding.
We break down the full loop—discomfort → escape → relief → guilt → more discomfort—and show how to interrupt it early, at the level of the urge. You’ll learn practical tools like treating urges as “notifications,” building a Dopamine Bridge (2 minutes to enter + visible progress + micro-reward), and using stimulation budgeting so your environment stops hijacking your attention.
We also go deeper: hyperfocus as a gift and a hiding place, Jung’s “shadow contract” behind distraction, Stoic separation of impulse from action, and Frankl’s idea that meaning doesn’t remove dopamine—it organizes it.
If you relate to ADHD patterns (diagnosed or not), the goal here isn’t perfect focus. It’s honest contact—small returns that rebuild self-trust and make reality livable again.
