Ep# 180: Drugs and Snacks
Manage episode 442007643 series 2948843
In this episode, Dr. Kashey unravels the psychology behind our dysfunctional relationships with sex, drugs, and snacks. He keenly explains how suppression fuels obsession, with restriction intensifying rather than lessening compulsive desires. Dr. Kashey then insightfully exposes the false equivalencies people construct between food and substances, whether cookie butter is "crack" or trigger foods are forbidden fruit. He argues that we always associate mere snacks with dangerous powers they do not inherently possess. Dr. Kashey says that enjoyment in eating is natural when we are truly hungry. It is only when we seek empty sensory gratification, indulging cravings from emotional distress, that food transforms into a vehicle of escapism, bringing momentary pleasure but lasting harm. He stresses that the solution lies in mindfully separating nourishment from indulgence. Finally, Dr. Kashey names the absurdity of "follow your heart," winning his contest for worst advice. He suggests that progress lies not in avoidance strategies but in courageously confronting ourselves with radical honesty.
