Top addiction therapists in 78639: Kingsland, TX.

Helping clients to identify what they are seeking from and or getting out of their addiction is one of the main goals in my practice. Once clients are able to identify this they can better understand the motivation behind continuing to use. The next step is to help clients to create a "new life" or version of themselves that allows for more balance and enjoyment.

Discover the source of the persistent pain underlying your attempts to avoid or dampen that discomfort. Uncover your personal and innate signals, finding ways of responding to your experience that leads to a life that works better for you and those around you. Develop means and methods of recognizing what will solve the problem and resourcing solutions that lead to a more fulfilling life rather than adding to the hurdles created by addiction.

When people think about the word addiction, the most common thought is about drugs or substance. But we can experience addiction to anything, including pornography, computer games, shopping, gambling, even things that normally represent positive things such as exercising or working. People suffering from addiction may have a brain chemistry that is hardwired that way. But sometimes addictions come about as a maladaptive response to a trauma or an event in a person's life. Part of therapy is to help determine the cause of the addiction and then to find the appropriate modality to treat it.
