Addiction Therapists in Stonegate, CO.

I do give counseling to clients dealing with food addication and help them pinpoint reasons for their emotional eating as well as though the process if you choose to do gastric surgery. This can bring up a whole new addiction if you are not treated and aware of the first addiction as it transfers on addiction to another such as a binge eating addiction to a shopping one as you are still using unhealthy coping to deal with life's stressors. I will help you find healthy coping that you can use throughout your life.

Addiction can be a debilitating problem. My approach focuses on helping my clients uncover and process the trauma that often underlies addictive behavior, often using EMDR. I also encourage my clients to tap into new sources of support in their lives, whether in their interpersonal relationships, or in new group experiences. With the right support, it is possible to live a life free from addiction.

In working with Addiction, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. EMDR is traditionally seen as a technique specifically used in working with trauma. This is true and most of the time, addiction is rooted in trauma so it can be helpful as a dual diagnosis approach. However, EMDR can also be used specifically to help with addictions because it can be used to desensitize triggers for using and help clients maintain sobriety.

My approach is client focused and by asking the the client to trace the painful steps that have led to the addiction, that will also lead to their healing. I provide encouragement, education and I use evidenced based tools to help you take back your life. If you are looking for science and evidenced based modalities, 12-step support, holistic modalities - I can help you.

All therapist have taken courses in addiction. All therapists should have some comfort in treating clients with addiction.

I liken addiction to a fever. A fever is the body's way of telling you that your system is sick. People who are not in pain, who are not hurting tend to be addiction free. So, I work with my clients to get at that pain, that system upset and help them uncover the metaphorical virus that hurt them in the first place. While doing this deeper work I also help my clients create new and healthier thoughts and behaviors in order to undo the damaging behaviors that often surround addiction.

I work with clients with sexual addictions, such as compulsive pornographic internet consumption. Research on the impact of such addictions is used to determine if or how this information fits with client experiences. This information is combined with the client's unique experiences to determine the level of honest commitment to change. If change is sought, we then work to identify triggers and devise coping strategies to intercept the chain of events leading to relapse. When relapse is an issue, we address it deliberately but delicately, understanding the toxic and unhelpful nature of shame and it's impact on addictive cycles.

Addictions are always a statement of personal entitlement, "I can do this and I do not care how it affects you." When acting through your addiction you give the people around you the message that you are important and they are not. I deal with people who live with addictions with firm, clear, loving confrontations. I can help you deal with your grandiosity even if you do not recognize it when you first come in. I can help you find your humility and accept responsibilty for the pain and harm you have caused in relationships. When you deal with it straight on you can have access to the deepest layers of your self-esteem and to your core value. You will move from pretense into authentic life.

Addictions are about worship. Recovering addicts are the most enjoyable people to be around. Why? They worship. Maybe not in the traditional sense but they are grateful, humble, relaxed. They know their place and they are not full of themselves. Prior to recovery addicts were taught or taught themselves that certain feelings were impossibly dangerous to feel. They found a substance/activity that transported (worship) them to a place where they did not have to feel. They did not have to suffer. Addictions is a refusal to suffer and the discovery of an idol to worship. The story must be explored: Who taught you it was so dangerous to feel? Who taught you that you can not suffer?

No one ever thinks, “How can I spend all of my money, lose my job, distance myself from friends and family, and put something in my body that will at least damage me if not kill me?” I have worked with addiction for years now. There isn’t a type of person addiction has not affected.
