What Do Therapists Do?
Addiction Counseling Orlando addresses the individual and teaches them how to live a life and to visualize this life without drugs or alcohol. Guided imagery shows the client that through Mindfulness and staying in the present moment, All is well. Teaching my client that the underlying issue is not the drug addiction. It is the fear that is running underneath. The feelings of “not enough”. A hole that is created through the conditioning of society pumping into us the belief that without something from the outside, we can never be happy on the inside.
Once you can see a future without the use of drugs then you start to believe your capable. I understand that AA and NA are helpful support systems in a person’s recovery. Without support we would feel all alone. The type of work I am talking about is stripping away every belief system you had about who you are. Realizing that you never needed to seek outside of self to fill inside. You are already full, alive and perfect. You never had lack. Those who told you that felt the lack inside themselves.
