    Лучшая цитата из Rewiring Addiction: From Trauma to Recovery

    “

    Addiction isn't just a brain disease or a moral failing; it is a complex condition often rooted in disrupted attachment and altered neurobiological systems that began early in life. The same neuroplasticity that allows trauma to change the brain also allows for healing through secure relationships and targeted therapeutic interventions.
