Ep. 9 - Healing Generations: Addiction, Faith & The Neuroscience Of Recovery
In this deeply moving episode of Resilient Butterfly, Dr. John Dyben—Chief Clinical Officer at Hanley Foundation—shares groundbreaking insights from over two decades on the front lines of addiction recovery. From the life-changing Casa Flores program supporting pregnant women with substance use disorders, to innovative care for first responders and a one-of-a-kind therapeutic experience for children ages 7–12, this conversation unpacks how healing an individual can ripple through entire families and generations.
We also explore the science behind spirituality: how prayer, meditation, and gratitude literally rewire the brain, and why peace—not happiness—is what most of us are truly chasing. If you’ve ever wondered how neuroscience and neurotheology meet in real-life recovery or what it really takes to break cycles of trauma and addiction, this is the episode to hear. It’s a masterclass in compassion, brain science, and hope.
