HELP FOR ADDICTION

What is addiction? Addiction is defined as any compulsive behavior that acts to deny, avoid or suppress real needs or feelings. Addictions may occur as a result of thinking that you have no other choices available. But addictions actually mask and suppress your feelings.

Addictions are interchangeable. In my practice, I find that clients may shift from one addictive behavior to another in a constant attempt to avoid their underlying problem – hoping to solve it with another artificial high.

I am not suggesting that all of these activities are negative. Some are extremely positive and beneficial. Exercise and sleep are important! Food can be delicious! It is only when exercise, sleep, and food become obsessive and compulsive behavior that they are classified as an addiction. Remember, addictions are progressive. You need more of a fix to achieve the same numbing effect.

If you have an addiction, the help of a support group or a professional counselor is often crucial for replacing that addiction with positive behavior. Paula Leslie can help. Reach out today.

“CHANGE THE CHANNEL”

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? You are not alone!
The continuous stress of the ongoing Pandemic plus political changes are causing many people to seek mental health care. Struggling with Anxiety, Depression and Post Traumatic Stress are often reasons people reach out for help. We often feel frightened and overwhelmed when listening to news about the Pandemic and/or political issues. “I feel scared and unable to change anything are common reactions”. Typical symptoms include sleep disturbance and addictions to food, drugs, alcohol or ci******es in an attempt to numb one’s pain.

Although you may not be able to control the bombardment of stress. You are not powerless. You can Change The Channel.

Rather than always FEELING AT THE MERCY OF STRESS there are things you can do to take care of yourself. How you deal with the stress will help control your reactions to the situation. For instance, If you feel anxious after watching news about the Pandemic or politics, THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO!!

You may not be able to eliminate the stress, but you don’t have to hear it repeatedly on TV OR RADIO.

CHANGE THE CHANNEL… YES, TAKE THE TV CLICKER AND TURN TO ANOTHER CHANNEL WHERE YOU ARE NOT WATCHING UPSETTING NEWS. OR YOU CAN TURN OFF THE TV OR RADIO.
