Transforming Trauma

NOTE

Dealing with emotions and addiction

The central theme when dealing with addiction is the ability to feel and acknowledge our emotions.

Individuals may use addictive substances as a way to numb emotions and avoid facing their emotional reality. Defensive behaviors and internal defenses often come into play to prevent feeling and addressing emotional distress.
