Good & Evil: Trauma, Addiction & the Dual Brain
Manage episode 507280911 series 3594894
What if “good” and “evil” are brain-side switches you can influence—shifting cravings, fear, and moral choices in real time?
Award-winning host Lisa Urbanski sits down with Fred Schiffer, MD (Dual Brain Psychology) to unpack how trauma, addiction, and morality play out across the brain’s two hemispheres. From LED forehead stimulation and eye-covering techniques to the realities of buprenorphine/Suboxone withdrawal and a fentanyl study in progress, Dr. Schiffer explains practical, research-driven ways to reduce cravings, calm panic, and rebuild self-trust—without oversimplifying “good vs. evil.”
You’ll learn:
- Why one brain side can push harm while the other seeks healing
- How trauma + humiliation wire “good/evil” narratives we live by
- Simple hemisphere activation tactics to lower fear and cravings
- What Dr. Schiffer’s fentanyl and LED work suggests about recovery
- Safer ways to think about Suboxone tapering and withdrawal anxiety (education only)
🎧 If you’ve wrestled with anxiety, cravings, or the weight of moral injury—this conversation offers science, nuance, and hope.
