Top addiction therapists in 73059: Minco, OK.

I started out 38 years ago working mainly with addictions. One of my highest success levels is in addictions. Of-course, addiction comes in many styles and forms, but they have a lot in common. Many addictions are a poor attempt to cover up something one is wanting to run or hide from. It does not take long to find that out by just listening to you. Then we go to work resolving that hang-up. I have learned the power of listening, it, in and of itself is a great healer.

I firmly believe that addiction is a result of trauma. The part of you that uses an addictive substance to escape is not bad, shameful, or even broken as we are often told. That part of you is doing an excellent job serving its sole purpose - which is to protect you from feeling the way you felt at one or multiple points in your life when things were too emotionally overwhelming to handle. We can work together to heal the trauma and nurture that loyal part of you so that it no longer feels the need to work so hard to help you escape.
