Healing Addiction (w/ Alex Olshonsky)

Deep Dive

Mar 2 2023 • 1 hr 20 mins

This wonderful conversation featured a few themes, the main one of which is reciprocal opening, or an attitude of always expanding horizons and exploring new experiential territory instead of focusing narrowly on pleasure and its causes. Alex shared his story of addiction, recovery, and discovery. We also talked about dialectic, psychedelics in the context of addiction, spirituality, the question of whether addiction can be completely healed, and more! This is a favorite of mine, so go ahead.
