Psychological addictions can occur in many forms. Addiction to substances like Cigarettes , alcohol, drugs or addictive behaviours like gambling, pornography, gaming addiction etc or addiction to food, especially to sugar.
An individual, if willing to overcome these addictions, can benefit greatly from various mind body medicine modalities.
Often , there is deep psychological pain or childhood trauma associated with addictive behaviours. If these associations are present, they need to be explored and healed if one truly wants to recover from addictions.
If a relapse occurs, in addiction recovery, it is often connected with debilitating emotions like guilt, failure, hopelessness, lack of self worth, anger etc.
These emotions can be very toxic and corrosive unless dealt with.
All the mind body medicine modalities greatly help in managing these.
