A PhD Neuroscientist Explains Why Your Brain Gets Stuck in Addiction and Depression — And How to Rewire It

Most mental health treatment addresses the symptoms without touching the neuroscience underneath them. Dr. Robb Kelly is a PhD psychologist and neuroscientist who works specifically at that deeper level — the subconscious and conscious mind dynamics, the role of the hypothalamus, basal ganglia, and amygdala in addiction, and the way childhood trauma wires beliefs and perceptions that keep people stuck in depression and negative thought patterns decades after the original wound. What he shares with Stacey Chillemi about why proper breathing is critical for optimizing brain function in ways most people never consider, how to break free from the psychological injuries that have been running your behavior from below the surface, and the specific science-backed approaches that allow genuine brain rewiring rather than just symptom management will give you the most neuroscientifically grounded and practically applicable mental health and recovery conversation you have encountered. Your brain learned these patterns. This episode shows you the science of how it unlearns them. 🎧 Hit play now and start rewiring your brain for success! 🔗 Learn more from Dr. Robb Kelly at .
