The question is not "why the addiction but why the pain" - Gabor Mate. Addiction is rooted in human suffering and complex social problems. Drawing on the work of Gabor Mate, Narrative Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy, and Response-Based practice, I will begin to address the pain and suffering experienced by individuals and families. We will also exploring the social context the contributes to an addiction culture. One of the goals is to start to separate the person from the addiction. Each individual is so much more than the addiction they experience.

Working through addiction can be a raw and difficult process, that often reveals the pain that the addiction was helping to disguise.

Addiction and substance use is a common challenge that many people face off and on throughout their lives. It often starts as a teenager, and if not supported in the right way, can carry on into adulthood as an unhealthy form of coping. Having experience working with teens in a live in treatment center, helps me to understand addiction in a different way by seeing how it impacts all facets of life. My non judgmental and welcoming space allows a safe space for youth and adults to explore what is driving substance use and develop healthier coping.

Addictions can appear in many forms including substance addictions, internet addiction, sex addiction, gambling addiction, shopping addiction, pornography, social media, excessive exercise, food, etc. Strong cravings with a loss of control can lead people to become addicted in spite of possible dire consequences.

Promoting physical, emotional and spiritual well being is often critical for the rehabilitation process.

The question becomes "Do I have control over it or does it have control over me?". Often substances are used as coping mechanism without realizing that it often creates even more anxiety and depression, leaving a person feeling more stress and low down the road. Feeling anxious without a "quick fix" or a “temporary Band-Aid” is a strong indicator that a person is or has lost control with the desired substance.
