Recent statistics reveal that when it comes to risky alcohol use, for the first time women are now on par with men; historically, men’s drinking surpassed women’s by the sizable margin of 3:1. Clients feeling critically ‘addicted’ to screen time, work, food and body preoccupation, relationship preoccupation, cannabis/drugs or overspending are also rising clinical concerns. These common addictive issues are typically accompanied by struggles of chronic anxiety and stress along with the burdens of balancing work, children, partners and parents. How do these issues correlate? How can we help?
This experiential recording offers an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach, including new concepts for understanding addictive processes and effective interventions that are compassionate, empowering and address the underlying shame and trauma that our clients who identify as women are navigating. How addictive issues impact the therapist will also be addressed.
