상담실의 문을 노크하기까지 오래 망설이셨을지 모릅니다. 내 이야기를 다른 사람에게 털어놓기가 쉽지 않습니다. 그러나 생각/감정/행동의 연결고리를 이해하면 ‘마음의 평화’에 다가갑니다. 저는 주로 ‘수용전념치료’ 와 ‘인지행동치료’ 과정을 통해 내담자의 여정에 함께 합니다. 그 여정은 짧게는 2-4회, 대부분 8-10회를 기본으로 하며, 경우에 따라 1-2년 이상이 걸릴 수도 있습니다. 그 길이 낯설지 않도록, 이미 내담자 안에 들어있으나 잠자고 있던 내적 파워를 깨웁니다. 생각과 감정과 행동이 성숙한 조화를 이룰 때까지 함께 가겠습니다.

As a psychologist and psychoanalyst I believe most of us can benefit from some treatment of psychotherapy/psychoanalysis. Human life can be challenging and our emotions turbulent and elusive. It is costly in every way to embark on a journey to self explore, but most people find the experience rewarding and invaluable.

Alcohol Use Therapists

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?

There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
