Episode notes
Substance Use Undermines Control
- Avoid heavy alcohol or drug use because they lower frontal lobe function and erode impulse control.
- If substance use causes repeated relationship, legal, financial, or health problems, seek treatment because that meets their definition of addiction.
Childhood Trauma Shapes Relationship Patterns
- Untreated childhood trauma often produces patterns: people don't talk, don't trust, and don't feel.
- Addressing trauma can break generational cycles and improve relationships across families.
Diagnose And Treat Brain Health Issues
- Get evaluated and treated for suspected brain or mental health conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder.
- Treating these conditions restores function, reduces stress on partners, and improves relationship stability.
