Addiction Therapists in Powell River, BC.

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.

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.
