In V8B 0C4 - Nearby to Powell River.
Addiction is usually the outcome of an injury or incident in our life. The trauma of the event seeks relief or soothing through behaviors to douse the pain like a firefighter who puts out a flame. The relief or soothing is limited in the success and the behavior becomes a habit which takes on a life of its own. James will help you address the trauma which brought on the addiction whether it is a substance or behavior so that you are free to give yourself to what is a beautiful and bright future one step at a time.

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. In counselling, we work to support...(view profile to read more)

Many approaches to addiction emphasize willpower and deprivation, but this only works temporarily. Alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours like gambling and gaming offer short-term relief of underlying issues at a long-term cost to one's relationships and health. As an addiction counsellor, I can help you resolve underlying issues, regain control, and build a sense of meaning and purpose, so you can start living the life you want. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery. I meet each client where they are at, tailoring my approach to each person's unique needs. Send me a message and we can connect for a quick call to discuss next steps.
