Addictions
Leonard Cohen
Often, when we think of addiction, we think of substance addiction -- drugs and alcohol usually springing first to mind. But addiction can come in many different guises that don't involve substances at all.Examples of this include shopping, gambling, the internet and sex. All share similarities, however, regardless of the particular substance or activity involved.
Most people experiencing addiction in one form or another have probably tried to give up their addiction only to return to the substance or behaviour after days, weeks, months or even years.
The fact is that people become addicted because the addiction serves a purpose. The addict uses substances or engages in addictive behaviour for a whole host of different reasons -- as an escape from a difficult reality, in order to cope with uncomfortable emotions, to relieve pain or in order to fit in with a social group. Or it just might be because they feel like a little recreation, a reward for getting through the day or the week.
Usually, though, addicts use substances and behaviours in order to cope with those uncomfortable feelings. The problem is, of course, that the relief is only temporary, a brief distraction, and what starts off as a release, an apparent friend, fast becomes a prison and a vicious enemy. And now the person finds him or herself locked into the terrible cycle of addiction as it continues on in its inexorable downward spiral.
Whatever the addiction, Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy, combined with Ego State Therapy can help. But it can only do this when the addict is prepared to fully admit that he or she has a problem and is prepared to stop making excuses and accept the responsibility to really do something about it.
Help is available, but you have to really want it
If you commit to a course of therapy for an addiction with Peter, you will be asked to attend a 12-Step Programme in conjunction with the office sessions, in order to receive the all important support that such groups provide. (Most of these groups are free of charge.)
Peter Field has been involved with 12-Step work for over twenty two years. If you're truly ready to end your addictive behaviour, he will work with you, tackling the issue at its roots. However, you need to play your part. And this involves going to a 12-Step Programme on a regular basis.
It might help to look at it this way: if you are addicted, you are involved in a behaviour that has the potential to ruin your life. Left untreated it will simply get worse. Your attitude needs to be: 'I will do whatever is necessary to break free of the awful, devastating chains of my addiction'.
If you have this attitude, then Peter will work with you to resolve your addiction, so that you can emerge as a stronger, wiser, much more healthy and balanced individual.
Your future really is in your hands
If you feel that the 'crack' inside you is big enough -- and if you have truly reached the stage where you've decided to really do something to end your addiction -- call Peter now on 0121 698 85 05 and get the help you need.
Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy combined with Ego State Therapy and 12-Step work offers a really effective way of treating addiction.
