Addiction Therapists in Headingley, MB.

Addiction comes in two forms: substance addiction and behaviour addiction. Most people are familiar with substance addiction. This occurs when drugs or alcohol are consumed in greater quantities than planned, and when this consumption becomes harmful to the person using and those around them. Some common behaviour addictions come in the form of food, shopping, gambling, exercise, pornography, and sex. If you believe that you are living with addiction, or if the addiction of a loved one is affecting your quality of life, get yourself some professional help.

It saddens me that often people struggling with addiction receive such judgement. I recognize that every single one of us can easily fall into the cycle of addiction, whether it be alcohol, drugs, gambling, work, sex or a multitude of other options. I like to begin from a place of addressing the issue of shame, and then help clients become more self-aware of their feelings and thoughts. I then help them learn to manage life in a more healthy manner - slowly. I believe that every addict has some form of past hurts and wounding that I would love to help them work through, so that they can live a full and vibrant life.
