Über diesen Titel
What is a process addiction — and how is it different from substance addiction?
In this episode of Deciphering Growth, Tiffany Graves, and Eric Stone explore behavioral addictions including gambling, gaming, social media, shopping, pornography, and work addiction.
We break down:
• The neuroscience of dopamine and reward circuitry• How trauma dysregulates the nervous system• Why unpredictable rewards hook the brain• The shame–stress–behavior cycle• How tolerance and withdrawal show up without substances• Why process addictions are often socially rewarded before they’re punished• The role of neuroplasticity in recovery
Process addictions aren’t moral failures. They are nervous systems trying to regulate. But when coping becomes compulsive, it can impact relationships, finances, identity, and mental health.
Trigger warning for discussion of gambling and behavioral addiction.
