Addiction
| Posted on February 16, 2018 at 7:00 AM |
Anyone
who has ever experienced an addiction will be very familiar with the
'hamster on a wheel' sensation. You are on a wheel that despite all
your intentions to the contrary, you just can't get off! With this
comes a sense of powerlessness, helplessness, shame, embarrassment,
self loathing together with a feeling of being totally weak. Anyone
experiencing these negative emotions is in extreme emotional pain
which will obviously further drive the addiction as a form of escape. The
good news is that people who are suffering from any addiction are not
weak. They are simply behaving in a natural way driven by their
unconscious mind given their mindset, beliefs and previous
experience. Anyone given their specific beliefs, experiences and
mindset would behave in EXACTLY the same way. In other words, people
with addictions are human! They do not have some inherant weakness or
genetic flaw. We
often think our conscious mind runs the show. That we are in full
control. But that is not the case. The conscious mind can only deal
with about 7 to 9 tasks at the same time. This is why learning a new
skill takes effort. But as we learn and repeat tasks, the unconscious
mind slowly takes the information and then it incorporates this new
learning so we can then complete tasks without consciously thinking
about what we are doing. Driving is a good example of this. When
learning how to drive, we have to pay full attention to actually
driving the car as well as what is happening around us on the road.
Once we have learned to drive, we no longer have to focus on HOW to
drive. That is now automatic. The
unconscious mind does not know what is real or imagined. It does what
it thinks you want it to do by the words and pictures you use and see
in your head. Its only job is to keep us safe and to move us away
from pain and towards pleasure. The unconscious mind also cannot hold
conflicting beliefs (something is good and bad at the same time).
This is why addiction becomes a 'hamster wheel' loop. The addicted
person sees their addiction as a great source of pleasure that
results in pain. Having these apposing views keeps the unconscious
mind paralysed because it does not know which way to direct your
behaviour. ALL
addictions have exactly the same psychological roots. Physical
addiction is just a further complication of psychological addiction.
No addiction could survive without a psychological driving force.
This is good news because once the psychological driving force is
found, it can be altered in order to get your needs met in healthy
ways. An addiction is just an unhealthy way of trying to get an
emotional need met. The addictive behaviour is often a way of
'shutting off' uncomfortable feelings. These uncomfortable feelings
are often with us from childhood because our emotional needs
were not met then, or from previous trauma. Someone with an addiction
will often feel 'empty'. Because the emptiness is not resolved by the
addictive behaviour (it is just temporarily suspended during the
addictive behaviour), the emptiness remains but is now joined by
feelings of powerlessness, helplessness, shame and weakness. This
then reinforces the addictive cycle as the person suffering from
addiction seeks emotional relief. To ditch your addiction using Rapid Transformational Therapy, contact me to arrange a FREE 20 minute telephone consultation. You don't have to live locally because we can arrange a skype session. |

Many people have addiction of some things. They have some habits which they have addiction. Some addictions are not good for people. People are getting experiences from addictions. Some people are feeling shameful with bad addictions and they are helpless also.
