FRIDAY 8/10/2021 - Read that again. Does this resonate with you? This quote from Gabor Mate was so powerful for me. What you tell your mind it believes. So you have the power to change that response. It served you before, it saved you. It protected you. You are now able to respond as you. Remove your addiction. Trauma informed Counselling assists you to expand your emotions with your true authentic self. Gabor Mate was my paradigm shift changing my understanding of addiction not being a disease, but a response to a problem. The trauma denying yourself love and the punishment of addiction. MC Counselling is a trauma informed service believing long term addiction can be that response to that trauma. In the lead up to World Mental health Day, I’ll be sharing some quotes from the film “The Wisdom of Trauma”. You don’t need to do this alone, MC Counselling can help you to remove addiction, and improve your mental health. Remember, just because you’ve been told something before and everyone else around you agrees, doesn’t mean you have to agree. When you believe this, at that moment your life will change and I’ll be there to help you.
