Addiction, Identity & the Brain: Dr. Robb Kelly on Breaking the Pattern

Episode Summary

Addiction isn’t just substances; it’s patterns, identity, and survival wiring. Dr. Robb Kelly, PhD, a leading recovery expert seen on The Doctors, Good Morning Texas, USA Today, and host of Breaking Through Addiction, argues we must treat causes, not symptoms. He explains why alcoholism is a brain-level hijack while many other addictions grow from trauma + learned behavior. We unpack the tug-of-war between subconscious and conscious mind, how family scripts drive self-sabotage, and why most of us run at half power until we reclaim identity.
