Neuroscientist Marc Lewis, Ph.D., dives into a better understanding of addiction through his work and his blog. His piece on shame and addiction shows how understanding how the brain works gives us a better understanding of what is going on in a person’s brain. “
The addict’s shame is so wounding because of lost connections with caring, loving others. So what’s left? How can we be soothed? IFS [Internal Family System] is all about establishing and reinforcing connections within us. The theory points to a calm, empathic center in each of us.”
