Cross Addiction: Surprise or Expectation?
•Download as PPT, PDF•

The document discusses how the brain seeks to manage uncomfortable feelings through substance abuse or addictive behaviors even after abstaining from our primary addiction. When we remove an addiction, the brain experiences a traumatic "cortical defensive bypass" response that leaves us vulnerable to relapsing. Recovery behaviors help reduce this fight or flight response to triggers and uncomfortable emotions. This bypass impairs our ability to consider consequences by limiting access to parts of the brain like the visual cortex. The document also mentions mechanisms of alpha and theta brain waves related to calm and reactive sensory input states.

Grounding Workbook
The document discusses the concept of "grounding" as a tool to help regulate the nervous system when triggered by painful past events. It explains that when triggered, we can dissociate from the present moment. Grounding exercises, like noticing one's surroundings, can help remind the mind and body that they are safe in the current moment. Specific grounding techniques are listed, such as being in nature, drumming, meditation, and eating certain foods. The importance of developing awareness of one's triggers and sensations is also covered.
Motivation and Emotion
The document discusses various topics related to motivation and emotion, including biological and psychological factors that influence hunger, theories of motivation such as drive-reduction theory and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, and factors that influence sexual motivation such as hormones and Masters and Johnson's model of the sexual response cycle. It provides definitions of key concepts and examines research findings on these topics.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.vonoprazan A novel drug for GERD presentation

10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.

Cross Addiction: Surprise or Expectation?
- 1. Pacific Grove, California www.beaconhouse.org
- 2. Opiates or Cutting? Cocaine or Shoplifting? Compulsive Sex or Purging? Alcohol or Food (Sugar)?
- 3. Just because we abstain from one substance or behavior, it does not mean our brain is not seeking another manner by which to effective manage (soothe) feelings and uncomfortable internal bodily states!
- 4. Take away our drug or behavior of choice, and it is like taking away food and water from a normal person. Our brain experiences a traumatic response sometimes called a “cortical defensive bypass” which leaves us defenseless against the first drink, drug, Oreo cookie, sex addicted act, etc. Recovery behaviors all have one thing in common: they reduce our tendency to enter into this fight/flight response in reaction to a trigger, uncomfortable emotion or even a happy emotion.
- 5. When we enter into this “defensive cortical bypass” – what we are “bypassing” is our ability to think through consequences. We quite literally can’t access our visual cortex to see the images of our spouse divorcing us, getting our 3rd DUI, being put back on a feeding tube because we became so engaged in the euphoria of starving ourselves, getting an STD from unprotected sexually acting out, and the list goes on and on!

Editor's Notes
- An addicted brain has its object of addiction ranked nearly as important as air, water and food . Getting sober threatens their long-term relationship with something the brain mistakes for survival. Getting sober is stressful. It means that when the brain is excessively aroused or perceives danger the thinking and reasoning part of the brain gets bypassed. In other words, people react first and ask questions later. For an addicted person this too often has severe consequences.
