Addiction Therapists in Peachtree City, GA.

Addictions (substance or behavioral) are often coping mechanisms you developed early in life to help you deal with anxiety, sadness, feeling like you don't fit in, feeling you don't matter, feeling powerless, or for numbing the pain of being criticized, abandoned, neglected, abused or traumatized in some other way. Traumatic events or a life time of upsetting events are often the root cause of addiction. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist with extensive experience in helping adults heal from and put in the past the upsetting events that contribute to their addiction. EMDR Therapy is highly effective and is offered at all the leading residential treatment programs for addiction recovery.

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161.

My addiction counseling style is most useful after you have been completely sober for at least 6 moths. My addiction focused therapy helps you to unpack the shame and guilt from your time of using. As well as, working on self forgiveness and moving towards a happy life. I will use EMDR to clear past memories and goal setting / Forecasting to help you clearly define what you want in your life.

Dealing with addictions can feel very isolating. Addiction can begin as a coping mechanism that brings temporary comfort to some form of trauma but can quickly turn into an out of control problem. We may deal with shame, fear of judgement and hiding that this issue has turned into an even bigger issue. The first step in the recovery process and ability to start taking back your power is acknowledging that there is a problem and taking the next step. You can recover!
