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
Maryam Abro
Psychologist, MC(Psych), Registered Provisional Psychologist
No one starts using substances with the intention of it becoming problematic. I help client's identify what has been the trigger for the development and continuation of substance abuse. This allows us to implement strategies to help you recover from the issues that have caused you to use substances. I support client's personal substance use goals including a reduction of use and/or abstinence.

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.
