Addictions
What it involves
Tobacco, alcohol, screens, gambling, food — a dependence is a habit that has put down deep roots, and that keeps its place because it does something for you: it soothes, distracts, or fills a gap, even as its cost grows.
How sessions help
Sessions start with what the dependence does for you — what it calms, avoids or replaces — then build a way out in small, agreed steps. For severe substance dependence, this work goes alongside medical care; it does not replace it.
