Above all – do not give up on yourself.
Recovery from addiction
“The most important thing in changing human behavior is the person’s motivation.” – Milton Erickson
How Do you Get Around to possibly doing the one thing that scares you, the thing that first might seem daunting, like giving up something for positive change, what if you are not sure whether you are even ready or even if you want to? Therapy comes with an Empathy Toolkit.
Over the past 30 years, as a licensed therapist, I have successfully helped hundreds of teenage clients and adults stop procrastinating and get off substances and alcohol.
What is a simple thing you can do that would bring the possibility of more joy in your life, and your goal closer to make your life sing?
Ever notice we get hooked on our negative thoughts?
Effective CBT Therapy can show you a way out, so you can be happy and live a meaningful life again. Effective Therapy addresses fear of conflict, ambivalent feelings and sometimes even lack of motivation.
Relapse happens
Did you know the percentage of people who have relapses or revisit a negative reoccurring thought and behavior can be 100%? *
*According to David Burns, M.D. ( The Feeling Good Handbook) we can suffer a relapse when we re-experience anxiety or depression for two minutes or more.
Relapse can also be defined as a re-occuring struggle with alcohol or substance abuse, or even process addictions (for example, lying to oneself and others, fault-finding and blame, overeating, over-spending, shopping, stealing, video games, gambling, excessive hand-washing, internet, porn).
