Addictions or Substance Abuse
Russ Webb - Insight Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, RPC, MPCC
Having taught in the Addictions Counselling program at Medicine Hat College for 14 years, I understand addiction as a neurophysiological brain disorder that the person did not choose in their life. My approach is to address the addiction from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual perspective giving compassion and helping the client understand how addiction functions in their life and how they can move to recovery and continue a new life in recovery. Many new issues arise in recovery which the client will also need support with as they change the very nature of their identity.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, RPC, MPCC
Addictions are behaviours in which we engage to enable us to cope with deep emotional pain, usually stemming from some form of trauma in our lives. Social and environmental factors can also play a role in developing addictions. Addictions include the use of alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gambling, smoking, shopping, etc. as a way to provide temporary relief from the painful thoughts and negative feelings that arise within us. Over time addictions establish themselves as the go-to relief to cope with our emotions, but at the same time render us less functional. Our relationships, work, and homelife begin to suffer from the consequences of the addiction. Talking therapy can help to uncover and resolve the pain that lies beneath addiction and over time help us to reconnect with our inner selves and to discover and develop behavioural responses to replace the addictive behaviour.
