Addiction
“Each relapse is an opportunity to learn how to do it better next time.”
Often it is not just about stopping using alcohol or drugs - although that can be hard enough. While it may be a habit, it can also be a reaction to problems you had in the first place. We can manage to stop taking the drugs or alcohol; and then the underlying problems can come back to affect us...perhaps we start using again. It can become a vicious cycle.
Counselling may help not just with the addiction, but also with those underlying problems. There may be issues from the past that need working through. It may be about needing help dealing with those overwhelming feelings; and developing new and better ways of coping with your emotions.
Using a combination of the Psychodynamic, CBT and Solution Focussed Brief Therapy (SFBT) approaches we can explore your difficulties and look at possible ways to help you break your pattern of substance misuse and addictive behaviour.
