How Does Therapy For Addiction Work?

Dr Abigail Pamich, Consultant Clinical Psychologist outlines what happens in addiction therapy with a specialist addiction psychologist. For example understanding the reasons for the addictive behaviour, triggers, maintenance and exploring the foundation of the addiction, right the way back to childhood; all drawing from the wealth of 20 years of addiction research. Addiction therapy is very practical, providing tools and strategies, increasing awareness and providing a framework of accountability and compassion.
