Thank you Dr.Seeman

I hope this briefly summarizes the video: Addiction is fronto-cortical (conscious willpower rational thought and action system/region) override by the midbrain (our unconscious goal-pursuit, or desire-attainment, system). Your brain is designed to do this in times of need, ie. getting a cup of water when thirsty. However, in addiction, the desire or craving repeatedly "pops up" of its own accord, it is unwanted by the addicted individual, and, if acted on, is detrimental to their life or long-term goals. Addiction, regardless of its particular manifestation - whether it be heroine, cocaine, sex, anger, etc. - is best (or maybe even: can only be) combated by voluntary activation of the frontal cortex during midbrain override (craving). Put more practically: Your addiction will manifest itself initially as a craving/temptation, this is intrinsically uncomfortable (at varying levels of severity). This craving can be combated by actively refusing it, this will strengthen the cortex, and pursuing something more [subjectively] meaningful (coping). Doing this in conjunction with self-development and/or religious transformation can radically speed up the process of addiction recovery.

Hi Nicole 😊 I'm attending a lecture training tomorrow at the Kane County Health department about neuroscience and mental health thanks to your packet I'm more prepared . Thanks: Rutonya S.

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

You really need to get to know what gaslighting truly is, evil... No love in it... Unprofessional, unethical, cruel, and unexceptionable... Study it, research it, learn it. HORRIBLE... Stop using such tactics and manipulations...

Dark psychology tactics - unprofessional and unethical psychological tactics used on me... Come clean ...

Great great ,I love to join my dream university

Wow!!! Im speechless.

This should be played in hospitals & all over to educate

DEMOCRAPS CAUSED THIS EPIDEMIC WITH OPEN BORDERS

Let's wear purple hair to showcase democraps upcoming vote.

Thank you for this

What a wonderful guy

First

Remarkable thank you!!

Thank you. I hated to think about what brought me here, but what a blessing this presentation was. A gift. My lawyer sent me here in her infinite wisdom. This information made me to move toward radical acceptance vs stuck in ... well, just stuck.

Is this shown in schools? If not, why not?

Proud Alum ❤

I love how WU tries to make it a big deal for the kids. When I arrived at college they said, "Oh you're here? Cool. Here's your room key " 😂

just wow!

Absolutely love this. Young men and women, more than ever, need to hear this message of hope and encouragement! ❤

😊ty for this video

Dr. Collin's speech makes me proud to have chosen Walsh University for my MBA studies. Swords Up! ⚔

Am blessed

Good

You have a lot to give, Hannah! God bless you and keep sharing your gifts with others!

Excellent presentation.

Loved the video! Just wanted to throw this out there (totally fine if it's not a good fit!), but I'm a video editor and I sometimes help creators improve distribution by making their content a bit more snackable for viewers. Think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested.

It is encouraging to see Walsh strongly supporting the SoR. Ohio has a long way to go but the changes I've seen the last few years are fantastic. President - IDA Central Ohio

I love this guy's passion 😂🙌

Trying to absolve ourselves from guilt while making ourselves clean and blameless. Silly in many ways

Walsh University's Division of Education has been a true asset the community, preparing outstanding educators for decades.

Swords UP!!

been an addicit for over 53yrs with periods of soberity ,mostly wheninprison,this hasmade more sensewhy the 12 steps are so important thankyoudr nicole labor ,ileft message for you onmessenger

You make me cry. Beautiful! Thank you for your work!

I love Walsh university, can't wait to join the group for my masters program

This is, without a doubt, the most thorough and understandable presentation of addiction I have ever seen. The "matter of factness" and medically supported logic helps anyone who has ever dealth with or been associated with addiction to understand it. This should be a requirement in the education of every single healthcare professional. As a surgeon, I have spent 2.5 years attempting to fully understand the mechanisms involved with addiction that lead to actions that often are unexplainable and non-defensible. These actions are often incredibly uncharacteristic of the person we know and love. Highly advised to watch and send to anyone you know involved in medicine, at any level, as well as those who are stuggling with addiction personally or dealing with someone who is.

Amazing video. Thank you Dr. Labor for helping me understand my disease

Thanks for sharing! I’m also an Aspie & I graduated from Walsh a couple of years ago

God is real, and he is the key. Use the 12 steps. Starting with steps 1-3 are the crucial key to opening a door to a new world. At first, don't worry about who God is, but know he is there to help you.... if you admit step 1, you can begin a new life (or sometimes a life).

Government & "the elites" know full well how to keep the stigma going strong...that is by letting the scenes on the streets get worse and worse.

Amazing presentation.

America is a caring, conscientious and hard working young lady! She's a blessing to Walsh University!!!!

Great! What are the requirements for the scholarship for international students

I appreciate your bold and courageous spirit and reaching out to help others. Thank you and God bless you and your work.

Walsh is awesome! 10/10!
