Understanding Addiction, Compulsion & Dopamine

Many addictive or compulsive behaviours are reinforced by dopamine (the brain’s reward and motivation chemical). Highly stimulating habits can hijack dopamine pathways, making everyday tasks feel less rewarding and increase cravings for compulsive urges. 

Therapy focuses on helping you regulate these patterns, regain control over attention and motivation, and build healthy, sustainable habits.
