Substance/Drug & Alcohol use
It can feel a risk to get professional help for substance use, particularly because some are illegal, and you may not be sure what the professionals' response may be.
There is an understandable fear of what the outcome might be in telling a professional or stranger about your substance use, especially if you are a professional too
I work with professionals, and young people helping them regain control. Whoever you are I do not judge, I help.
What is substance?
When a professional says substance they usually mean drugs, these could be common drugs such as amphetamine (speed), cannabis (weed/skunk), Cocaine (Coke, Lemo' in Liverpool), ecstasy, or MDMA. However, it can mean other drugs such as alcohol, Ketamine, Nicotine, and 'legal highs' such as 2CB. Alcohol is also a drug.
People are now approaching me for help with addictions to prescription medications, such as benzodiazepines (Alprazolam/Xanax) opioids. I have helped people to recover from substance use, usually after they have significantly impacted their well being, lost family & friends, or have experienced trauma through a 'drug induced psychosis'.
Most people who come to me for support with substance misuse/use want help with cocaine use, alcohol use, and ketamine, the effects of stopping after long-term use. Those who heavily use cannabis usually have a desire to stop, and break the habit, but unfortunately have little motivation to do so.
It's not just the drug/alcohol that is the problem, it's the trouble it causes in people's relationships, and the trauma it leaves on the brain the nervous system. People loose meaning, connection, and relationships through addiction, as the 'neural pathways' in the brain are changed, and pleasure and solace becomes something which is only gained through substance use/abuse.
If you are dedicated, and want to commit to getting help, and make a change then give me a call or book in and we can work together on it.
I integrate BSP technique which helps a person's internal nervous system, learn to regulate itself. This works across the spheres of consciousness and subconscious, so there is little required in the way of talking or 'thought challenging'.
Sometimes you know and think that you shouldn't do such and such... but this does not make sense to the part your brain that is responsible for the reward of the drug. "The reward part of the brain does not think, it just craves"
With BSP therapy we work with the reward part of the brain, through eye positions, and corresponding neurological transmitters within the brain.
Many therapies do not deal with the physical elements of substance use. Neuro-therapies that I employ go deeply, and quickly into the reward centre of the brain, where the feelings associated with the addiction/habit is formed. This helps the physical stress of giving up and withdrawing from substances.
I also support people who are suffering because of their relationship with the person who is using substance etc.

I don't know how it worked but I've now stopped using (cocaine) since we did Brainspotting.
It's helped me to stop and think. A. Client
