Description

Can we regain harmony in a world wired for instant gratification? From substance use to anxiety to OCD, the brain’s craving for immediate relief has never been more universal — fueled by technology, fast-paced living, and cultural shifts that demand everything now. This engaging webinar explores the neuroscience behind these patterns: how reward pathways get conditioned, why discomfort feels intolerable, and how people across the behavioral health spectrum can retrain their brains to embrace patience, long-term goals, and deeper fulfillment. Join us to explore practical, evidence-based approaches for cultivating resilience, slowing down reactive patterns, and finding an internal rhythm that supports lasting recovery and mental health.
