Addictions or Substance Abuse
Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, RPC, MPCC
Addictions are behaviours in which we engage to enable us to cope with deep emotional pain, usually stemming from some form of trauma in our lives. Social and environmental factors can also play a role in developing addictions. Addictions include the use of alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gambling, smoking, shopping, etc. as a way to provide temporary relief from the painful thoughts and negative feelings that arise within us. Over time addictions establish themselves as the go-to relief to cope with our emotions, but at the same time render us less functional. Our relationships, work, and homelife begin to suffer from the consequences of the addiction. Talking therapy can help to uncover and resolve the pain that lies beneath addiction and over time help us to reconnect with our inner selves and to discover and develop behavioural responses to replace the addictive behaviour.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Addiction is NOT a choice. Substance use is usually bourne out of traumatic experiences and is a coping mechanism to escape from them. As it's not a good coping mechanism, this "escape" often becomes an additional problem to deal with. To work with an addiction, the best way is to target the issues that created the addiction itself, meanwhile learning practical and realistic tools to manage the addiction and emotions. You don't have to live on a rollercoaster of shame, guilt, and regret. Change is never easy but that doesn't mean it's impossible; everything worth anything takes effort and commitment in order to achieve success. When you're finally sick and tired of the burdens and having the substances control you, let's start working to take your life back.

Reaching out for help when we are struggling takes courage.
I have been working with individuals who struggle with drug and/or alcohol addiction for decades & graduated from McMaster University in Addiction Studies in 1996. These unwanted behaviours are methods of coping with negative emotions that usually stem from trauma. I have created a unique treatment protocol that combines traditional therapy methods ( counselling & CBT) with the powerful healing benefits of clinical hypnotherapy and clinical hypnosis to give each client the best treatment approach. If you are ready to stop running from the pain you are working so hard to suppress and quiet, and begin your journey of a healthier happier, more peaceful life, please contact me today to take the first step towards healing.
