Addiction Therapists in North Webster, IN.

The root of addictive is a response to emotional pain (unrecognized, since the addiction does its job of numbing). First the reality of the destructiveness of the addiction must be faced squarely, powerlessness accepted, and then the hard work of dealing with the emotions the addiction is designed to numb along with uncovering the false beliefs and strategies about how to find happiness that the client is believing and acting on. As the client works through the emotional pain he or she is avoiding and turns from the false beliefs to truth, he/she discovers a new freedom to choose healthy responses to life's stresses.

If you’re struggling with unhealthy habits or addictive behaviors, in some way it’s working for you. After all, they provide relief from stress and pain. But, if you’re reading this you also know that they aren’t a long-term solution. It’s common for successful men like yourself to use over-working, pornography, alcohol, technology, and emotional eating to cope with the stressful demands of life. As a Certified EMDR therapist, I won’t give you band-aid approaches to manage your stress or make you quit these behaviors. But if you’re actually ready for a change, I can help. Like an emotional surgeon, I'll help you identify the sources of your stress and pain, and heal them at the source.
