Скачать или смотреть The West Is Addicted to Dopamine (And It’s Making Us Sick)

We are living in a culture that is addicted to dopamine.​​​​​​​​​In the West, we are conditioned to chase the next hit - the next scroll, the next purchase, the next drink, the next relationship, the next achievement, the next thing that makes us feel good.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We are taught to optimise for pleasure and avoid pain at all costs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​But life isn’t designed to be one continuous dopamine spike.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We are cyclical beings.​​​​​​​​​We are wired for a full range of experience - grief, rage, boredom, joy, tenderness, uncertainty, stillness.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​When we only chase what feels good, we disconnect from the deeper intelligence of our nervous system.​​​​​​​​​We lose our capacity to sit with discomfort.​​​​​​​​​We numb.​​​​​​​​​We override.​​​​​​​​​We escape.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​And over time, that disconnection makes us sick - in the body, in the mind, in our relationships, in our communities.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This isn’t about shame.​​​​​​​​​It’s about awareness.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​So here’s my invitation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Notice where you are seeking the next dopamine hit.​​​​​​​​​Notice where you avoid grief.​​​​​​​​​Notice where you override discomfort.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Just notice.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​And if this stirred something in you see www.thesomatherapycollective.com​​​​​​​​​I’d love to hear what this brought up for you.​​​​​​​​​ #motherlinerepair #somatictherapy #healing #nervoussystemsupport #embodiement
