Insights on Addiction
In the last decade, addiction has become more of a household name. Addiction was once a family secret, an unknown cause of death, or estrangement from a family member, but most people today have more awareness and acknowledgment of addiction’s pervasiveness in our lives and families. However, due to the fear that is rightfully associated with addiction, it’s subsequent shame, stigma, denial, and treatment aversion continue as an unfortunate biproduct of the lack of understanding. A solution does exist and all humans are capable of obtaining their solution.
Addiction is a complex illness. It is known “to be chronic, progressive, and if left untreated, fatal,” and yet it is 100% treatable. Due to it’s progressive nature, a person’s addiction falls on a spectrum of severity. Some people on the lower end of the severity spectrum can and do recover from addiction through support groups, supportive relationships, and/or sheer will power alone. The majority, though, benefit from the skilled support of a therapist to resolve and heal their underlying stressors, traumatic experiences, and/or mental health challenges that get in the way of being successful for the long game.
Healing Trauma
Addiction and trauma are known to be close cousins. Whether you suspect you have some unconscious personal trauma that may be interfering in your recovery solution or you realize it’s time to heal an old emotional wound without an addiction component, working with a skilled clinician trained in healing trauma is a slow and steady but manageable process, yielding maximum rewards of personal freedom and agency.
