This session was recorded on 19 February 2025 as part of the 2025 Staying Well in the Law series. In this session, Clinical Psychologist and Founder of the Australian Institute for Human Wellness, Dr Anastasia Hronis, will speak about dopamine, how it can shape our behaviours and lead to unhealthy habits, and what we can do to live a life balancing both pleasure and purpose. Have you ever felt like you’re lacking control over certain habits? Are you curious about the neuroscience behind addictive behaviours? What if you could understand how the brain works, and use that knowledge to regain control over your habits and lead a more fulfilling life? Social media, shopping, eating, sex, drugs and gambling are just some of the things that can trigger a release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain that is involved in the brain’s reward system. The overindulgence of certain pursuits can disrupt the level of dopamine in our brain, which can steer us towards habits that do not align with our core values. Dr Anastasia Hronis' presentation will offer a clear and practical way to help people find balance and harmony in their lives. |
