Emotions are an ever-changing landscape that we constantly try to remodel if we feel we can’t contain it, or if we want to explore new territory. Using mind-altering substances, overeating and other pleasurable behaviours have always been a way of doing it.
If you have a habit of drinking, using other drugs or gambling or find yourself binge eating (or more than one of these habits) and you ask yourself if it’s really a problem, or you noticed that your habits have changed since something else has happened in your life and you just want to make sure they don’t get out of hand, or maybe you want to do it less, or maybe stop.
In either case, I could help you:
→ understand why you are doing it
→ understand how your habits are connected
→ explore the impact they have on your health and social life
→ work on any underlying issues (loneliness, frustration, (social) anxiety, life changes, and much more)
→ make lifestyle changes to prevent future health and social problems
→ drink/use/gamble less
→ quit all or only one your habits
→ develop a healthy eating pattern
→ develop a healthy relationship with your body

Stop wanting to always be happy
All I want for Christmas is to stop wanting to always be happy
So often I hear people saying that they should always be happy, always perform well, and so on, and this is something about the messages that we get from everywhere is our society.
