Addiction 101
My Addiction 101 keynote, already trusted by treatment centers, courts, and recovery programs, now updated and ready for you to watch anytime, no waitlist, no classroom required. Across both parts, you'll get the full picture: how addiction rewires the brain, and what it actually takes to treat it, recover from it, and build a life you don't want to escape from.
Part 1: The Neurobiology of Addiction
This one's the "what's happening in the brain" half. It covers how addiction physically changes the brain, walks through the specific neurotransmitters involved (dopamine, glutamate, GABA), makes the case that addiction is more than a willpower problem, and frames the whole thing as a stigma-reduction, empathy-building piece.
So: foundational science, designed to shift how the audience thinks about addiction before getting into what to do about it.

Part 2: Treatment, Recovery & Reconstruction
This is the "now what" half, picking up right where Part 1 leaves off. It covers five concrete areas: detox and why it's just a starting point, medication-assisted treatment and how it stabilizes the brain, counseling and therapeutic approaches, the role of recovery community and peer support, and relapse prevention/rebuilding a life.

Keynotes
see me in person
Bring me to your event, classroom, or organization for a keynote that actually changes how people think about addiction. Drawing on decades of clinical practice and my own recovery, I translates the neuroscience of addiction into something every audience can understand, whether that's a courtroom, a treatment center, a school, or a corporate training room.
