People usually come up with this
notion that how would simple counselling be able to help me pertaining to my
repeated habit of substance/ behavioural use/abuse.
The answer to this lies in the fact
that psychological counselling does not simply work on the pattern (which is
currently happening) but its basic and foremost objective is to understand the
personality structure of that person, his feeling, emotions, and perceptions
about his world (his family, friends, and work) – this in turn helps the
counsellor to understand the WHY;
why did he initially start and what were the reasons which reinforced him to
continue with this practice.
The ‘why’ here carries lots of
importance as this influences the probability of lapse and relapse. A
combination of therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy, neo
linguistic programming, and free association are used on that individual to
help and motivate him towards de - addiction. Alongside, he is also given the
aid of motivational group therapies, family therapy to help him further in this
process.
In this manner the individual has a
holistic circumference to motivate him towards de addiction.
