Hi, I'm your therapist for addicts. I know you're here because you can't seem to stop checking your phone every 5 seconds, or eating an entire pizza by yourself, or binge-watching Netflix until the sun rises. I'm here to tell you that's okay. Acknowledging problems is just the first step, and that's what we're doing today.
But don't get too comfortable, we've got work to do. We'll explore your addiction, its causes, and its effects. We'll talk about how it's not just about the substances or the behaviors, but about the deeper issues at play. The feelings of loneliness, of FOMO, of boredom.
Your Problem is Not You is a great place to start if you want to dive deeper into the specifics of your addiction. Or, if you'd rather get a Take a Break from the cycle of self-destruction and learn some new coping mechanisms.
We'll also be discussing the Bigger Issues at play. The societal pressures, the cultural norms, the capitalist machines that drive us all towards addiction.
So, what are you waiting for? Let's get started. Acknowledge your problem, and let's begin the process of recovery.
