Addictions therapy
In every addiction, I see cutting off from your own feelings and not meeting your own needs, which is “substituted” by the addiction to remove the discomfort, dissatisfaction or kind of emptiness on an ongoing basis. However, in your problem, there is also a hidden key to solving it.
If:
- willpower is not enough to stop you in doing “it”,
- you experience the lack of control over your habitual behavior,
- the addiction consumes more and more time, attention, thoughts, money,
- as a result, you feel the release of tension or relief instead of pleasure,
- you are looking for reasons downplaying the symptoms listed above,
it can mean that you have a certain hunger (e.g. of security, love, self-esteem, fulfillment, freedom) that you find unwanted and difficult to confront.
I will help you accept who you are, and search for another way or tool to achieve a state of mind that currently, your addiction gives you. You decide what you are ready for; I support you in dealing with the uncomfortable feelings that occur when changing your harmful patterns to what is good for you.
