Addiction as a Relationship: When Substance Use Becomes a Way of Regulating the Psyche
In public discourse, addiction is often described in oversimplified terms.
Personal development sessions focus on enhancing self-awareness, personal responsibility, and the meaning of life. Personal growth is approached as a process of understanding and redefining the self, moving beyond limiting beliefs.
Through therapy:
• goals and directions are redefined,
• personal skills and elements of resilience are recognized,
• limiting beliefs about the self are restructured.
Through the narrative approach, the stories that shape one’s self-image are explored, aiming to highlight alternative narratives that enhance the sense of choice, authenticity, and personal direction.
