ADDICTIONS

Do you feel out of control because you continue to engage in behaviors that aren't good for you despite the negative consequences?  There's always a reason for our negative behavior -- it's a misguided coping strategy to deal with pain or stress.  The key to overcoming addictions is to address the underlying issue and to develop healthier coping strategies.

Addictions or negative behaviors take many forms.

• Excessive use of alcohol/drugs
• Overeating or binge eating
• Compulisive buying
• Gambling addiction

I have helped many clients understand the source of their addictions and develop effective strategies to curb or eliminate these problematic behaviors.

And to use healthier coping mechanisms to better handle stress in their lives.
