Addiction: The Symptom Which Can't Speak

Why do some substances feel like salvation—until they don’t? In this brief talk, I'm going to explore how addiction can function not as escape, but as a solution. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory and clinical insight, we'll examine the role of the body in emotional pain, the concept of “affect dispersal,” and how substance use often speaks where words fail.

This talk is for clinicians, people in recovery, and anyone curious about the deeper dynamics of addiction.

Free and open to the public. Discussion to follow.
