I’ve got a favour to ask! If you enjoy this conversation, please double check that you’ve liked the video and subscribed to the channel! That's a small way you can help us carry on doing this, really appreciate you! ❤🙏🏾
This Dr is BRILLIANT! I loved my books too .. But ofcourse not addicted ( Gen X) But when she said Twilight , I instantly knew she’s devoured Anne Rice books and also her EROTIc novels which she wrote under the pseudonym of Anne Roquelare – A Cry to Heaven, Beauty’s release which is hardcore ! I Bet she’s read them all ❤ Those books about Vampires were my fantasy escape books ❤ It becomes an addiction if it begins to interfere with one’s life
I admit i am addicted to Youtube for showing such brilliant videos to learn from 😀 How else we can have these brilliant conversations at 4am with people that are literally on the other side of Earth :)) Keep up the good work of producing these valuable stuff in a huge pile of %99 dump called the internet 🙂
How bout if you were told that it was your own fault that caused an injury to yourself,then much later find out/remember,that someone else was responsible and caused said injury. 🤔❓😒😂🏏🤕
very helpful conversation, thank you. i’ve enjoyed everything and am amazed how this wise lady explained mindfulness in 1:07:57..very useful way, so easy to grasp.
I just love your podcast! I work in the health care industry and am just amazed every day at the great content coming out of your podcast. You are my number one go to Stephen. I am thankful you created this channel! I will be on your show one of these days!
Thank you to you and your guest. This was incredibly useful and have been inspired to look into it in more detail. If there is a follow up to this, as i can see how successful it will be, i would be interested to know how people with naturally low levels of dopamine can navigate the scales.
As someone with ADHD, we tend to be more anxious, depressed and have addiction tendencies, due to lack of dopamine (or is it weaker receptors/pathways). Would that mean we get less setbacks or withdrawal symptoms from our addictions because our baseline would tend more on the "pain" side ? Before taking stimulant medication, I used to be very depressed and smoke a lot more weed to motivate me into doing things I didn't enjoy. I certainly was self-medicated.
Was enjoying the conversation until she included using rats in an experiment. You do not need to get rats addicted to drugs and inflict harm and pain to know that if you liked or were addicted to something then of course you will want it during a a painfull trauma. Common sense surely? Don't hurt animals to prove a stupid point.
@thediaryofaceo can you stop with your obsession with happiness and your `what is the best` ism? Sometimes you just live and experience, our emotions and feelions are eb and flow you cannot always feel love and happiness enjoy the process why pu isb, hate, blame, and run from the process? Why are you so obsessed with it and why is America so obsessed with love and happiness? Its about the jourmey and struggle. Life isnt about being euphoriclly and happily inlove at all times. What is wrong with people? This is why you break up at any struggle because love and happiness subside temporarily as it needs to to maintain homiostasis and keep you alive. Jesus
all was fascinating. what she described as 'being in the moment' was really good self regulation, acknowledging emotions will release them and regulate or calm us down, making it easier to handle more challenging emotions. which makes it now even more evident why people cant be in the process or present moment(apart from the world of rewards fighting for our dopamine hits) as that adults have real trouble self regulating and children are learning by modelling adults' behaviour. they have really slim chances of learning self regulation then. Another bit, adults taking away any hardships and obstacles, children have no way of building resilience and lean on themselves. And then we are presented with 'research' saying that children being given household chores when in nursery age or early school age do much better in life. No wonder or mystery there, just listening to this episode makes it totally clear. Why are we learning silly useless things at school rather than this knowledge? Social media have a dark side of course, but this knowledge here is priceless. thank you both!
This was beyond fascinating!! I love the music in the background…it helps my mind to focus on what is being said and the tone of what is being said! Absolutely LOVE YOUR PAGE!!! Keep growing and sharing!! 🤟🏻
Hi Steven, What role do drugs like Adderall and Ritlin play in the pain – pleasure dopamine scale? You guys didn’t get to it, and I think a critical question, as I believe this is the pharmaceutical solution to this very large problem.. But is it a good or detrimental solution?
OMg my mother had a reading addiction! she was very open about what she was reading – vampires, romance, smut, Stephan king, horror. Her reading addiction cost her lots of money, she could easily consume 1 novel a day. but she died before Kindle came out, I often wish she got to experience it. but maybe it would of been a monster in her life.
Ms Lembke, thank you for your intelligence and hard work. No book made sense anymore, no way of living, nothing…. But you just changed everything positively. I am forever grateful. Thank you 😊❤
Books were my first addiction along with music. I love to practice and I am a professional musician. It is the place I go or no one can bother me. It makes me feel good about myself. That is a health addiction because that’s what I do for a living and it helps me feel confident at work, but The novels I have noticed since I was a teenager are very easy for me to get addicted to, and when I feel lonely, I’ve gone into periods where I was listening to lots of audiobooks.
For metal illness patients who had been taking medication tablets n stopped n rather decided to find a way to increase dopamine by activities to have max pleasure n …by watching diets n relaxation n resting …n dealing with relapse effects like hearing people talking……can one make it happen with out adverse reactions or harm to self or others?..

It becomes an addiction if it begins to interfere with one’s life

Much of what has been said about dopamine and balance is actually in the Bible as well. I found that very enlightening, thanks for sharing! ❤
Where is the document Stephen refers to "linked below"? Anyone know? TIA!
How bout if you were told that it was your own fault that caused an injury to yourself,then much later find out/remember,that someone else was responsible and caused said injury. 🤔❓😒😂🏏🤕
Just deleted social media on my phone. This interview proves it makes me very unhappy.
Thank you for doing such fundamental work. I truly enjoyed dedicating my time to listen to every word. 🙏🏾

So, doing what once a day will fix it? Watched 2 hours, no answer

Exact same addiction happened in the exact same way with exact same books. WOW!!!
Was enjoying the conversation until she included using rats in an experiment. You do not need to get rats addicted to drugs and inflict harm and pain to know that if you liked or were addicted to something then of course you will want it during a a painfull trauma.

Mr ..ELLON MUSK is no 1 example of work addict
Lemke is a real freak with her dirty books.

Maladaptive daydreaming is a hard one to stop an addition to because it's all in your own head and you have 24 hr access to it 😢
At what time in the video does she talk about “doing this once a day fixes your dopamine “?
This was beyond fascinating!! I love the music in the background…it helps my mind to focus on what is being said and the tone of what is being said! Absolutely LOVE YOUR PAGE!!! Keep growing and sharing!! 🤟🏻

Hell's with that neclace?
Can perfectionist in cleaning be categorized as addiction?
