Abstract

This research shifts the perspectice on problematic behaviors from character flaws to symptoms of disrupted dopamine systems, which can be addressed through targeted interventions. By recognizing disrupted dopamine caused by trauma, individuals can regain agency, enabling them to define their own life stories rather than being defined by past trauma.
