Addiction and Brain Chemistry

Sinopse

Addiction and Brain Chemistry explores the complex science behind substance abuse and addictive behaviors, emphasizing that addiction is a neurological disorder affecting brain structure and function, not merely a lack of willpower. It reveals how addictive substances hijack the brain's reward system, particularly dopamine pathways, leading to compulsive behaviors despite negative consequences. Understanding these neurobiological changes is crucial for developing effective treatment and prevention strategies.

 
The book delves into the impact of addiction on key brain regions like the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and nucleus accumbens, illustrating how long-term exposure alters synaptic plasticity and neuronal morphology. It highlights the neurobiological mechanisms underlying recovery, including abstinence, relapse, and the rebuilding of healthy brain function through therapies like CBT and MAT.

 
The book uniquely integrates neuroscience with practical strategies, offering guidance for individuals and families affected by addiction. Beginning with an introduction to brain chemistry and the historical context of addiction research, subsequent chapters dissect the effects on brain circuitry and address the crucial topic of recovery.

 
It emphasizes the importance of environmental factors, support systems, and lifestyle changes in sustaining long-term recovery, providing a comprehensive understanding of the science to promote recovery.

Magick for All Seasons - A...

Marla Brooks

“Marla Brooks has crafted a down-to-earth collection of Witch Wisdom. The inclusion of Great-Grandma Sophie’s witchy tips adds a charming touch, making the reader feel as though they are receiving teachings from a trusted elder.” —Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other works Explore the seasons of the witch by way of magickal spells and practices for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Magick for All Seasons offers a fresh approach to a lifestyle that focuses on mind, body, and spirit in the nature-based way that our ancestors practiced throughout the ages. Each season is marked by a series of holy days, or sabbats, to honor the qualities of each time of the year, life’s lessons as revealed through nature, and our relationship with the god and goddess. These holy days are divided into Greater Sabbats and Lesser Sabbats which reflect the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. The spokes of the Wheel are comprised of the four Greater and four Lesser Sabbats. “The biggest takeaway from the Wheel of the Year is that your life will ebb and flow just as plants drop their seeds, grow, lose their leaves, die in winter, and grow back again. Your life experiences all of the seasons in the human way.” —from the foreword by Lorriane Anderson Starting with Samhain, author Marla Brooks, an experienced and longtime magickal practitioner, explores the eight Wiccan and Pagan sabbats that comprise the traditional Wheel of the Year. She incorporates original spells, recipes, incantations, meditations, and more that enhance the magick of each season. Each sabbat is detailed with information on the symbolism, activities, tools, incense, and gemstones used, along with specific workings and exercises.
