Rewire Addicted Brain: Kill Cravings & Heal Fog | Dr. Tiff Thompson

Three years sober after a liver transplant that almost killed me... but the brain fog, guilt, and that constant pull back to chaos? Still real as hell.In this raw convo with Dr. Tiff Thompson (PhD neuro, neurotherapy CEO, BCN/QEEG expert), we break down why shame and tough love backfire in addiction recovery, how your brain gets wired for cravings (low GABA profiles, dopaminergic burnout, default mode network traps), and how neurotherapy/neurostimulation can actually rewire the damage...no meds, no nonsenseWe talk post-transplant fog, integrating your "shadow" old self, grieving lost identity, and starting with radical self-honesty. If you're sober but still struggling, or watching a loved one spiral, this hits home.Timestamps:0:00 - Cold Open: Moana's Monster – Acceptance Transforms Demons1:00 - Intro & My Transplant/Family Fallout Hell2:00 - Tiff's Journey: From Wind Farms to Neurotherapy Love5:00 - Why Shame/Blame Creates Resistance (Moana Scene Deep Dive)9:00 - Rock Bottom vs. Early Intervention with Curiosity12:00 - Addiction Scratches the Itch It Created – Yin-Yang Loop15:00 - Neurotherapy Explained: QEEG, Montages, Cutting Cravings/Withdrawal20:00 - Brain Fog & Trauma Post-Transplant: Wear & Tear, 100% Recuperation Potential25:00 - The "Torn Apart" Feeling: Old Chaotic Self vs. Higher Sober Self30:00 - Low GABA Genetic Profile – Why 1 in 10 Are Wired for Alcohol/Anxiety35:00 - Simple At-Home Start: See Yourself As You Are & Talk It Out40:00 - Wrap-Up & Vulnerability = ConnectionWould love your support 💚buymeacoffee.com/thewillpowerpodcastLinks:School of Neurotherapy: https://www.schoolofneurotherapy.comNeurofield Neurotherapy Clinic: https://www.neurofieldneurotherapy.comTiff Thompson: Search "Tiff Thompson Neurofield" for moreIf this episode hits, like, subscribe, comment your biggest takeaway (what's still pulling you back?), and share with someone who needs it.National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357) – free, 24/7.#Sobriety #AddictionRecovery #Neurotherapy #BrainFog #LiverTransplantRecovery #MentalHealth #WillpowerPodcast
