Feeling trapped is one of the most painful parts of addiction—but Justin McMillen proves that breaking free is possible. In this episode, he walks through the key turning points that helped him shift from feeling powerless to taking back control. After years of battling his own addiction, Justin McMillen set out to help others recover from addiction. In 2008, he established Tree House Sober Living, an organization dedicated to sheltering those new in recovery without anywhere else to go. After spending years watching people recover only to relapse in an endless cycle, Justin began studying substance use disorder. The sober living residence became a laboratory for his research that would ultimately lead to today’s most innovative addiction treatment solution. For Justin, this work is deeply personal and spiritual. He believes his purpose is to end as much unnecessary suffering in the world as possible during his lifetime. Justin is relentlessly driven to advance the mission of Tree House, to save as many lives as
possible by transforming how addiction is thought about, talked about, understood, and treated
around the world. His focus is on positioning the organization to establish new national
benchmarks for what is possible in substance use disorder treatment.

What if the biggest source of your anxiety isn’t the world around you—but the thoughts inside your own mind? In part 2 of the anxiety series, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana break down what’s really happening in your brain when anxiety takes over—and why trying to “fight” your thoughts often makes things worse. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and brain imaging research, he explains how negative thought patterns form, how they hijack your emotional state, and most importantly, how you can take back control. You’ll learn practical, science-backed strategies to calm mental chaos, stop overthinking spirals, and retrain your brain for peace. From identifying “automatic negative thoughts” (ANTs) to building healthier neural pathways, this conversation offers tools you can start using immediately. If you’ve ever felt trapped in your own head, this episode will show you a different way forward—one where you’re no longer at the mercy of every thought that crosses your mind.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why your brain gets stuck in anxiety loops
The hidden impact of negative thinking patterns
Simple techniques to challenge and reframe your thoughts
How to build a calmer, more resilient mind

This isn’t about suppressing your thoughts—it’s about understanding them, reshaping them, and finally finding the mental clarity you’ve been looking for.
