Trauma & Addiction

The Chinese character for crisis is a combination of two words — danger

and opportunity. People who fully engage in recovery from trauma and

addiction discover unexpected benefits. As we gradually heal our wounds,

people find themselves developing inner strength, compassion for others,

increasing self-awareness, and often the most surprising — a greater

ability to experience joy and serenity than ever before.

In the midst of trauma, it’s sometimes hard to remember that people’s

lives are about more than their trauma and that their spirit is often

greater than what has befallen them. In even the worst of circumstances,

there are opportunities to grow beyond the obstacles that beset people.

It is helpful for a person to have their resources recognized. Some

resources are inner ones.

Traumatized and addicted people need an anchor and a great deal of

support. Once you gather the courage to face your inner landscapes, you

will need someone you trust enough to accompany you. Someone that can

safely hold your feelings and help you listen to the painful emotions

you are carrying with you. You will need a guide that is not afraid of

your terror, and that can contain your rage. Feeling safe is a necessary

condition for you to confront your fears and anxieties.

Therapy is a collaborative process a mutual exploration of your self.

Feel free to get in touch, get support in person or virtually now with

one of our therapists.
