Addiction Inside Out

My method of addiction therapy and coaching, Addiction Inside Out, has formed through recovery from my own addictions, and supporting others as a therapist and coach. Like many addicts in recovery, once I got sober from my primary addictions, I found similar behaviours coming in to take the place of whatever had vacated. If I stopped alcohol, I would smoke more tobacco. If I stopped tobacco, I would eat more sugar. If I left a toxic relationship, I would watch more porn. 

Once I began training as a therapist, and learning about the brain’s role in addictive behaviour my approach began to shift. I began to see that the roots of my addictions lay in unhealed emotional pain that had been buried deep in my unconscious, out of sight and out of mind. The pain had been stored in my nervous system and the somatic patterning of my body. Over time, I grew in my capacity to feel the agitations of my nervous system, recognise my psychosomatic disunity, and get present with the somatic patterns in my body. My mind became an ally in a body-informed healing and integration process that led me to freedom from addiction, from the inside out.

I have been helping people find freedom from addiction for over 15 years now by using my skills as a cognitive and body-informed somatic therapist, along with my personal experiences, and my method. There is nothing quite like helping another human being come back home to themselves and be comfortable in their skin while finally being relieved of the burden of internal conflict and disunity.

If you are struggling with addictive behaviours and would like to find freedom, perhaps my Addiction Inside Out Method, can help.
