A therapist on why you think you'll win it back

Most of the people I have on are in recovery. This one has never placed a bet. She treats it for a living.

We broke down why gambling addiction behaves differently to drugs and alcohol, how the brain gets hooked on near-misses and fake wins, and why a person can lose everything and still believe the next bet brings it back.

She also walked me through the psychological traps that casinos and apps use deliberately, and what actually helps people stop.
