The Neuroscience of Habit Replacement in Recovery

​Join Kera Passante, LPC, NCC - VP of Therapy at Sunflower Sober - for a free, live class on the neuroscience of addiction and recovery.

​Substances rewire the brain's reward system in ways that make "just stop" terrible advice. In this session, we'll break down what's happening in the brain - and what clinicians can do to support real, lasting change.

​What we'll cover:

​• How substances dysregulate the dopamine system and why everyday rewards stop working

​• Neuroplasticity: why the brain can rewire itself in recovery

​• The habit loop: why you can't delete it, but you can replace it

​• Evidence-based replacement mechanisms: exercise, social connection, mindfulness, and behavioral activation

​• Five clinical takeaways you can bring to your practice this week

​This class includes experiential moments, a reflection exercise, and live Q&A.

​Who it's for: Therapists, counselors, prescribers, and clinicians working with or interested in working with clients who use substances.
