Couples therapy with an addiction issue is complex and complicated -

Posing a special challenge for even the most experienced therapists

WHEN YOU’RE WORKING WITH ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR

you’re up against a lot, for 3 primary reasons:

“NORMAL PEOPLE”

After a few drinks, they start to feel woozy and out of control, recognizing they’ve had enough and stop.

ALCOHOLICS/ADDICTS

They have a few drinks and feel powerful and in control. This is an abnormal reaction and sets up a craving for more. They can’t stop.

ADDICTION

Addicts often struggle to accept that they are wired differently and can’t use like “normal people,” which can make therapy an ongoing challenge.
Addiction is a complex and genetically susceptible condition.
Early trauma or neglect compromises the brain in so many ways – and a compromised brain is extremely vulnerable to addiction.

IT’S CUNNING, BAFFLING AND POWERFUL

It’s no wonder why many therapists shy away from working with addicted partners

“You CAN instill hope and positive energy with your clients while simultaneously confronting them on their denial or addictive thinking patterns.”
