What's God Got To Do With It?: Addiction Is More Than Substances: How Coping Becomes a Trap With Dr. Chip Dodd
About this episode
This episode explores how addiction extends beyond substances to include various coping mechanisms and their impact on mental health.
Addiction isn’t just about substances—it’s about the ways we cope with pain, stress, and unmet needs. In this episode, Chip Dodd and Leanne unpack how behaviors like emotional eating, over-exercising, workaholism, and social media addiction follow the same addictive patterns as substances. They explore the difference between coping mechanisms that help us heal versus those that keep us stuck, and how the brain wires itself for addiction. If you’ve ever felt caught in a cycle of numbing or self-sabotage, this episode will help you understand why—and what you can do about it.
