About this Program
We are in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, and tweeting. The increased numbers, variety, and potency are staggering. As such, we have all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption. Yet, it is possible to find contentment and connectedness by keeping dopamine in check. Dr. Anna Lembke provides a practical, science-informed approach to addressing compulsive overconsumption of everything from food to sex to video games, using a framework captured by the acronym DOPAMINE.
Quotes from Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence by Dr. Anna Lembke
Human beings, the ultimate seekers, have responded too well to the challenge of pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain.As a result, we’ve transformed the world from a place of scarcity to a place of overwhelming abundance.
By protecting our children from adversity, have we made them deathly afraid of it? By bolstering their self-esteem with false praise and a lack of real-world consequences, have we made them less tolerant, more entitled, and ignorant of their own character defects? By giving in to their every desire, have we encouraged a new age of hedonism?
Target Audience
The program content is tailored for mental health professionals, including , social workers, mental health counselors, SUDC counselors, psychologists and marriage & family therapists. The instructional approach is designed to benefit individuals at various skill levels, from beginners forward. Attendees from professions not eligible for CEs under the approved associations can request a Certificate of Attendance. See CE approval details below

Book Included in Registration!
This book is about pleasure. It’s also about pain. Most important, it’s about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We’re living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting . . . The increased numbers, variety, and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such we’ve all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption.
In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain . . . and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.
Notice: Dopamine Nation, paperback edition, will be distributed through Amazon and you will receive an email voucher after registration. No refunds or credit will be given for unused vouchers. If you cancel your registration you will not receive a refund for your voucher.
