Explore why people use drugs, distinguish between use, abuse, and medicinal use, and bridge the gap between user, abuser, and therapist to prevent harm and support recovery.
Examine medicinal drugs as a research-based approach to treating depression and disorders, emphasizing dose, clinical insight, and legalised use, while acknowledging psychosis risk and the value of user interviews.
The lecture examines how drugs and addictions affect sexuality and relationships, and suggests healthier relaxants like herbs, meditation, and avoiding excess caffeine.
explore dream state and lucid dreaming alongside drugs and other dimensions, while considering meditation, healthy living, meaning, and guidance to reduce addiction risks.
Explore spirituality as inner joy, coping, self-expression, and growth through practical, reflective living that embraces acceptance, nonjudgment, and service to others.

Learned helplessness links powerlessness and spirituality, urging individuals, especially women, to exit the victim role, assert agency, and use writing, journaling, and dialogue to change situations.
Important Psychological Mechanisms and Philosophy to understand the Deeper Correlation between Drugs (Ab)use and Perceived Happiness. I'm addressing here mostly the actual Drugs and not Pharmaceuticals. The Drugs I'm talking about are mostly the plant medicine drugs that are ancient and used to alter consciousness and experiment with higher consciousness.
Not all drugs are equally addictive, but all drugs can be dangerous in the wrong hands, even for the person themselves, if they don't know what they're doing. However there is a huge need to clarify the grounds and corners and lines between helpful USE, aka medicinal use of drugs, and abuse, where there is only harm done to the individual and their environment. For that reason I wanted to make this course, to make some kind of ground to understand that equal and fair treatment can help and benefit both the user, the abuser and the therapist. If both pharmaceuticals and drugs can be fairly used in a healthy way when needed, and not when abused (because pharmaceuticals are also abused often times), then there can be a ground for future perspective of a healthier society.
I'm addressing especially drugs abuse and sexual addiction or heartbroken problems, because these are the main connections where people can get addicted beyond what they and society at large can handle. It is a psychological mechanism, and to become clean, is to actually psychologically learn how to EMOTIONALLY let GO.
