Addictions and co-dependency
If you overuse drugs, or are addicted to alcohol ? you will need some addiction treatment before you may be able to benefit from my therapy.
If you overuse medically prescribed drugs, or are addicted to some kind of substance or behavior that does not put you into an altered state of consciousness, you may benefit from my help, and my offer is also for you.
If you do not know what category your problem belongs to, I may help you diagnose in what condition you are and help you find a proper treatment. As I do not treat alcohol or drug addictions, in such cases I may help you find some person who specializes in this kind of problem.
If you suffer, because one of your relatives, people from your family or your partner is – or you suppose may be – addicted: let me offer you my help. I may help you evaluate if your problem requires some professional intervention, and advice you on what you can do. In such situations relatives and family of the addicted person may feel hopeless and lose their ability to care about themselves.
If you already act like a co-dependent person, you may suffer a lot, and not be able to feel like an autonomous individual. The beloved addicted person suffers too, but anesthetizes him or herself with the drug or substance they use, so the co-dependent person remains the one who feels the worst. This is the reason why I suppose, even if the addicted person needs therapy, the co-addicted one needs help as well, because this is the person who suffers most. It is very difficult to look at the beloved person who destroys their life – and yours – and remain calm. The co-dependent person can hardly rely on his or her own feelings and perspective, wanting to believe the addicted one in what he or she is saying. But the addicted person may deceive both him/herself and the surrounding others, not even wanting to do so. They wish to think they are not addicted, when actually they are. The co-addicted people loose their perspective, become sad and dependent, and their life begins to fade. They cannot believe their eyes and their mind. They stop enjoying life. But there is a way out! Come and reach out your hand for help. I may help you become more autonomous, regain your strength and dignity, and become a more self- reliant person. If you stopped believing yourself and think it is something wrong with you – let me help you. It is important that you do not stay in this situation alone. Talk, don’t be ashamed. Shame and the wish to hide the problem make it even worse. You need a professional independent perspective and somebody who will help you out. Let me be the one.
