Description

In today’s episode, we invited Robb Kelly. He works with people going through, treating addiction problems to the actual root cause and not the symptoms. He’s gone to the ups and downs. Alcoholism crippled him and set him in a place where he was homeless in the streets of Manchester, England. At one point, Robb found the courage to save himself, and then after he saved himself, he’s had this commitment to protecting other people through many things he does as a CEO. [4:48] Why should we listen to you? Two things, the cool accent, and then catching me on my favorite topic, helping people. Everybody knows somebody who suffers from addiction. [5:58] Addiction It’s more on the brain science of the addiction, and I knew there was something wrong somewhere because I literally couldn’t stop drinking. Seeing a doctor who would send me to a 12-step room wasn’t good enough for me. So, I got a Ph.D. in psychology and a Ph.D. in behavioral science. It became fascinating to me, and then it became a challenge to me. [8:10] What did you learn, and how did you figure the best way to apply it? The first thing I didn’t know was alcoholics are born. They’re not made. So you can’t drink yourself into becoming an alcoholic. It’s impossible. Predisposition, trace it back in your family, and it will be there. [9:09] Neuroplasticity is a way of changes like molding the brain to what I want it to be. So what happens is through the therapy that you get here, we have more self-care neural pathways, and you self-sabotage your paths. [10:57] For people, they don’t think that they’re good enough.
