When it feels like the only option.

​PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR UNHEALTHY BEHAVIOURS

Sometimes we continue to do something despite the negative consequences. It can be a maladaptive attempt to cope with our situation or our emotions. We often use unhealthy behaviours to escape, numb or otherwise manage what feels unmanageable. Unfortunately, the positive effects are short-lived and the negative consequences can be serious or even life-threatening.  

If you have or worry about any of the following warning signs, then you may want to speak to someone with experience in this area:
  • Have you tried to cut down or stop without success?
  • Do you feel out of control over the behaviour?
  • Do you have negative consequences related to the behaviour? (health, employment, financial, and legal problems, family and relationship conflicts)
  • Do you do it more than you did previously to get the same effects?
  • Do you spend a lot of time thinking about doing it or recovering from its after-effects?

Fortunately, there are ways to overcome unhealthy behaviour. By better understanding the purpose of the behaviour, and by developing other healthier coping strategies, you can reach your goals.
