    60. Addiction, Attachment, and Attunement with Brittney Lollis Tolar

    60. Addiction, Attachment, and Attunement with Brittney Lollis Tolar

    Last week’s episode with Brittney Lollis Tolar was a hit and the conversation kept flowing, so we decided to dive deeper into her work as an addiction specialist, specifically the impact of dopamine and addiction. Plus, we’re expanding our discussion to include attachment and attunement, two of my favorite topics.
     
    Discover how an intolerance of boredom can be at the root cause of addiction. We’re discussing how dopamine affects the brain, Brittney is sharing the difference between secure and insecure attachment, and you’ll learn why we can’t experience secure attachment until we’ve addressed the attunement piece.

A suggestion

Hello there Sue! This is Stephanie’s mother, Janet Cummings.
I want to start by telling you how much I enjoy your podcast. I look for others but find yours has the input I want and can use. My only input would be to you gals who do the talking, is to quit using the word “RIGHT”After each sentence. You say some thing then you say right? Then she said some thing and she says right? It gets so irritating!!! Go back and listen to some of your podcasts and just notice how many times that word is used. It is constant. If it bothers me I’m sure it bothers others too. But just go back and see what you think! Other than that, congratulations on a great podcast. The information is so useful and I enjoy listening to you with that one exception! Hope all is well with you and yours. Cannot believe the children are grown! Where did that time go!
Please know this is all said with love. Janet Cn
