38. The psychology of alcohol dependency with therapist Ben Schiller

Stoked to have Ben Schiller back in the studio to talk about the psychology behind alcohol dependency.   Ben and I discuss whether or not all alcohol abuse in binge drinkers and daily drinkers is the result of underlying phycological issues or trauma.   We cover attachment theory and how that results in the need to escape with alcohol.  What happens in the brain when we drink and how change is possible.  To reach out to Ben you can contact him via www.benschillerpsychology.com.auThis podcast was proudly brought to you by Monday Distillery,  purveyors of beautiful,  sugar free,  non-alcoholic beverages.   To find out more about them or to order some of their beautiful offerings head to https://mondaydistillery.com or  https://osunsparkling.com/Music for Monday Distillery ads by Ash GrunwaldMusic for Podcast intro and outro written by Danni Carr performed by Mr CassidyFor more info on the July 21,  challenge head to our website and jump on the mailing list. or for more resources go to www.iquitalcohol.com.auIf you are struggling with physical dependancy on alcohol consider contacting a local AA meeting or a drug and alcohol therapist.   Always consult a GP before stopping alcohol.   Hosted on Acast.
