Addiction Therapists in Regina Beach, SK.

If you have been coerced into treatment, your goals may our first focus. All people have addictions, or strategies for dealing with significant pain in our lives. My approach is to identify and help heal the traumas that led to addiction. We identify the emotional triggers and chains of events that lead to acting out. From there we determine how and why your choices for acting out are being made. Once we have clearly identifiable choices - Who are safe people? What are safe places, thoughts and activities for you? - the result is freely chosen behaviours, thoughts and companions more in keeping with core values. I specialize in those with sexually compulsive behaviours & their partners.

Addiction is the outward expression of the emotional turmoil you are feeling. Usually, escaping your painful emotions is driving the addiction. Unfortunately, addiction can take on a life of it's own. Because of this, we need to carefully consider intensive in-patient treatment as an option. It will be your choice and I can support you in a referral for such treatment. It is possible to work with addiction by reaching under the addiction to the emotional turmoil you want to avoid. In working with trauma, past abuse, low self-esteem, etc. we can build up your core self to be strong and grounded. In this way, addictions has no role or function in your life once you embrace who you truly are.

Addiction can destroy lives and counselling can help a person with their addiction as well as heal hurts that have resulted from the behaviors that were a result of the addiction. Counselling also can educate clients on what addiction is and what it does to the body and mind as well give clients tools to be able to rebuild their lives and find meaning without the crutch of drugs or alcohol.

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step progams, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brian in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161

As humans we inherently have a strong urge to avoid pain, and we will do so even at a great cost to ourselves. Pain avoidance is a primary driver behind addictions of all types, so most addiction treatments seek to address this. While the experience of pain, including emotional pain - sadness, fear, anxiety, etc. is real – these feelings do not need to run a person’s life. Therapy guides the development of acceptance-based skills, mindfulness techniques and self-compassion in order to change the relationship the addicted person has with painful thoughts and feelings rather than using harmful strategies to repress them.
