    Addictions

    More often than not, addictions start with experimental use in social situations. And for some people, the substance or activity becomes more frequent. As time passes, a person may feel the need to use more of the substance or do more of the activity to get their desired high, and soon a person may become addicted.

    Addiction symptoms and behaviors include, among others:

    • Feeling the need to use more regularly, which can be daily or multiple times a day
    • Having intense urges or compulsions
    • Over time, needing more to get the same effect
    • Making certain that you maintain a supply
    • Not meeting obligations and work responsibilities
    • Doing things you wouldn’t normally do
    • Focusing more and more time and energy on the substance or activity
    • Failed attempts to quit

    If you can relate to any of the above symptoms or behaviors, it may be time to consider psychotherapy.

    As a psychotherapist with a specialization in addictions I will address the symptoms of your addiction and the related areas of impaired functioning, and together we’ll structure the time and content of your ongoing recovery.
