Addiction is a treatable, chronic disease. Genetics, brain chemistry, environmental factors, and life experiences all play a role in the disease, and past trauma is often at the root of many addictions. For many who struggle with addiction, it can be helpful to know that risk factors and levels vary by person, but like any chronic condition, focusing on the cause and the symptoms in treatment offer the best chance for recovery.

I am currently at capacity and not taking new clients. Everyone has stress in their own ways and it's hard to find the person that will allow you to feel it. People measure their issues with others but that's not what listening is. That's not what empathy is. Having an objective perspective instead of a "one-up" perspective might be what is necessary to cope with everyday life. I can be that...

In many ways navigating difficult circumstances allowed us to survive or even thrive, but the ways we cope now don’t benefit us in the long run. These interactions can surprise us at times because while our...
