Addiction Therapy
Addiction can manifest in a variety of different ways. Compulsive behaviors such gambling, pornography and substance abuse become unhealthy coping mechanisms to manage high anxiety and depression.
Addictions therapy focuses on understanding the origin of underlying feelings of shame and embarrassment while also finding healthy outlets for such vulnerable feelings. Therapy in early recovery focuses on increasing self confidence and self esteem by finding strength in vulnerability, connecting with positive supports and finding joy in previously enjoyable activities.
