Kim Sargent, Clinical Director of Canadian Family Health Counselling and Founder of Neural Network Therapy® explained that affairs are a form of addiction linked to dopamine depletion, often characterized by ADHD-like tendencies and a craving for emotional highs. Sargent offered strategies for balancing brain chemistry by consuming nutritional building blocks, limiting "cheap dopamine" sources like excessive phone use, and engaging instead in "clean dopamine" activities. Sargent concluded that reframing external interests and seeking appreciation are cues for internal well-being, emphasizing that addressing one's internal brain chemistry is key to preventing infidelity.
