Addiction: Coping with Internal Pain

Addiction did not just happen overnight for anyone. It is a formation of gradual behaviours to cope with internal feelings and the stresses of everyday life. At one time, perhaps you felt that your choices with whatever substance or activity you engage in had served you, but now you realize it is wreaking havoc in your life and are looking for change to be more in a place of feeling in control of your life and are looking to feel healthier. 

Freedom Therapy - Addiction

Therapy can be a good way to help you walk alongside someone who wants what is best for you. A certified mental health professional can help equip you with tools and strategies for how to cope with everyday stressors and to heal from the internal pain you are experiencing. Trying to do it alone can be very hard and relapse is more likely to occur. When you feel accountable and that someone cares about your well-being, you are much more likely to see the outcomes you are looking for. 

 

No one chooses to have an addiction. It forms overtime in a way to cope with the internal pain you are experiencing.

Addiction may include (but is not limited) to the following areas:

  • Alcohol
  • Drugs
  • Emotional Eating
  • Gambling
  • Self-Harm
  • Sex and/or Pornography
  • Shopping
