Show Notes

Understand brain structure and name the various parts and their role in Sex, Porn, Love Addiction. How does the brain respond to "Trauma"? Understand how addiction hijacks the brain and therefore why I do brain surgery on each of my clients. I cut off the top of their skull, remove their brain and put it on the chair beside them! I talk with the client and separately to their brain.

The brain is not their best friend. It is not going to working with them to achieve sobriety and is going to sabotage. There is a need to build into the Recovery  programme "Treats & Rewards" to entice the brain to work with them over time.
