Healing Addictions
We're all addicted, to a substance, behavior, belief system - anything that keeps us from having to drop down and actually feel, to address our deeper truths, wounds, needs.
Is addiction recovery even possible? Yes, but not without a tremendous amount of support. The first step is of course recognizing the problem - is this a subtle sleight of hand you play in your brain to avoid what you sould be looking at, to avoid embracing the fullness of who you were meant to be? The beginnings of an uncomfortable, hidden reliance you have, maybe just needing that wine after work a bit too often, or a full-blown addiction?
If you or a loved one are all too familiar with addiction and recovery, and continue to struggle, I and my colleagues can help. I've worked in this field for years, and the one thing I see consistently is how valuable, and difficult to find, an aftercare program can be. This is what I and my group of treatment specialists offer - a counseling-based, integrative, tailor-made program to help you recover your life.

One of the msot common emotional issues that seem to contribute to developing an addiction is the lack of self-love. This is of course exacerbated by the feelings of self-loathing that come with engaging in self-destructive behaviors.

Cultivating Mindfulness allows us to become more aware of our thoughts, and emotions, and how they trigger cravings and avoidance behaviors.
