Addiction recovery

  • Substance abuse
  • Addictions
    • Pornography (adolescents & young adults)
    • Gambling

Whether an addiction starts as a simple curiosity or a soothing mechanism for unconscious or unresolved dilemmas, it can quickly turn into a habitual behaviour that we have little control over.

The addictive behaviours can serve:

  • As a distracter from everyday life and feelings
  • to mask us from dealing with a pain, longstanding problem or unconscious dilemma
  • to mask us from the immediate shame we are feeling for falling into the addiction again

In our work together we can:

  • Address the underlying issues that are getting in the way of progress
  • Bring compassion and understanding to your situation
  • Develop healthier ways to cope
