What is Addiction Psychotherapy?
Addiction psychotherapy can vary and uses different tools to help you understand yourself and your hopes, learn what changes you may or may not want to take and gives skills to achieve what you want.
Addiction Therapy Packages:
Do you:
- Feel trapped in a lifestyle you cant seem to change?
- Not know how to reduce or change a behaviour?
- Know that you are good at stopping a substance/behaviour but struggle to maintain this?
- Feel misunderstood or criticised by friends and family?
- Know you need help but are scared of telling people whats really going on for you?
- notice that addiction is starting to impact you physically or you feel dependant?
- Want support following residential treatment or perhaps want support in preparing for it?
- Feel the effects of old trauma and shame now you have found sobriety?
If so an addiction package may be exactly what you need. I recommend 8 initial weekly sessions which can include:
- A full holistic assessment
- Onward referral if further support indicated
- Understanding and setting goals
- Making sense of own journey
- Reducing symptoms of trauma and shame
- Understanding triggers
- Learning coping mechanisms
- Finding longer term support
- Understanding and rebuilding relationships
