Addiction Therapists in Fort St John, BC.

Trobak Holistic Counselling's approach to addiction is: 1. Understand why a person is struggling with the addiction. 2. Addictions are usually not the problem but symptoms of much deeper issues. 3. Understanding the person's life and how the life experiences impacted the person to use addiction as a way of coping. 4. Helping the client express feelings and emotions he/she has been denying or avoiding. This denial and avoidance has usually been going on for a long period of time.

Working through addiction can be a raw and difficult process, that often reveals the pain that the addiction was helping to disguise. My approach to treating addiction applies cognitive awareness and mindfulness strategies to managing and reducing addictive tendencies and impulses. Addiction tends to thrive in isolation, so having a guide to help anticipate the struggle of addiction, identify and exercise strategies that are clinically effective in relief of addiction, and trauma.
