Addictive behaviours
Are you struggling with addiction?
If you are struggling with an addiction that doesn’t serve your best interests then seeing a CBT Therapist can help you with your addiction.
What is addictive behaviour?
An addictive behaviour is a behaviour that is characterised by excessive dependence on a specific substance (for example alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and cannabis) and activity (for example sex, gambling, technology, and gaming). Furthermore, an addictive behaviour displays patterns characterised by loss of control, compulsion, and significant personal costs to the individual (loss of work, problems in relationships, and ill health).
Signs that you should consider seeking treatment
It is likely that people struggling with addictive behaviours may display some of the following symptoms:
You don’t feel good (for example anxious and depressed) when you are not engaging in the addictive behaviour.
You are finding it hard to cut down on, or control, your addictive behaviour.
Your life is increasingly revolving around your addictive behaviour, and you are preoccupied with planning, engaging in, and recovering from, your addictive behaviour.
Your relationships, family, work and health are suffering because of the addictive behaviour.

Benefits of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is an evidence based, goal-oriented and collaborative psychological therapy approach that focuses on understanding the past and present connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours (termed the ‘formulation’). It also offers powerful tools, strategies, and techniques to identify, challenge and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and associated feelings and behaviours, helping to significantly improve mental health and quality of life.
