Top addiction therapists in 32926: Cocoa, FL.

My addiction works focuses on food and alcohol. We turn to substances and food because we are experiencing things or feelings that we don't have the skills to cope with. Once we develop awareness around our behaviors and how they are impacting our lives, we can focus on what triggers us to perform those behaviors. Understanding the triggers and then learning new ways to cope with those triggers is the heart of my addictions work.

For addictions counseling, I use an attachment based approach along with a Christian perspective to the recovery process. People form attachments to many things in this world and drugs and alcohol can be especially difficult due to the physical cravings through the mind and body. I will help you detach from the desires of drugs and alcohol and help you get re-oriented toward a more positive path in life . This will usually be in the form of becoming attached to something that gives you life, hope and enjoyment. Some examples include activities such as fishing, camping and hiking, spending time outdoors, or finding a hobby that gives you a sense of awakening from within.
