Supporting someone who is addicted?

If you are supporting husband, wife, partner, friend or family member then it is vital you reach out for professional support. The problem….the addiction will simply not go away!
There will be a narrow window opportunity don’t delay... Addiction is life threatening!

You’re resources will lessen through the stress and confusion of trying to support the addicted person. The addicted mind is complex and tests all but the most experienced of professionals.

In my experience… it is unwise and counterproductive to 'shop around' getting what you think is the best bargain. Learn to ask the tough questions, go and visit if possible. There are professionals out there who really know what they are doing, you will need to find them.

I often hear complaints of how much money and time has been wasted through ineffective rehabs and callers are understandably angry! We simply don’t see rehabs as effective enough and this is the feedback we get from our callers!

By contrast we belong to what is emerging as a 'new wave' of alternatives to rehab!
The caller will at first sound hopeless and defeated. I want to leave them with a clear sense of HOPE! I have personally seen clients go thru a remarkable change in a very short space of time... finding inner peace for the first time!

Let me know your thoughts.

Peace,
Catherine

Relpase prevention from addiction - continued

In a proper RELAPSE PREVENTION therapy there are intervention strategies can be grouped into 3 categories:

1. Coping skills training: Coping skills training strategies include both action and thinking skills techniques;
2. Cognitive therapy: therapy procedures are designed to provide clients with ways to re-frame the habit change process as learning experience with errors and setbacks expected as mastery develops.
3. lifestyle modification: lifestyle modification strategies such as meditation, exercise, and spiritual practices are designed to strengthen a client's overall coping capacity.

The coping skills training forms the cornerstone of relapse prevention based therapy, teaching client’s strategies to: (a) understand relapse as a process; (b) identify and cope effectively with high-risk situations; (c) cope with urges and craving; (d) implement damage control procedures during a lapse to minimize its negative consequences; (e) stay engaged in therapy even after a lapse; (f) learn how to create a more balanced lifestyle.

Let me know if you need any advice etc.

Relpase prevention from addiction - continued

Recovery involves facing a series of hard questions ... honestly and without dodging the need to change as a result of the answers:

• Do wonder why you are Addicted?... what's really at the core of your wounded self?
• Is there a nagging feeling that there might be a 'skeleton in the closet'...a forgotten trauma?
• Do you have a nagging background feeling of anxiety for no know reason?
• Do you slip or lapse after a few weeks and cannot understand the reasons for this pattern?

Psychotherapy and Spiritual guidance... in expert hands... will greatly assist you to resolve the above questions.
Let me know if you need any help finding an expert to help you or a loved one.
