Internet Addiction Therapists in V6K
Having an addicted person in your life can feel like a nightmare and tear your family apart. In order for addiction to have a chance of healing, we must first address the dynamics of the addict's relationships with their loved ones. Many loved ones unwittingly enable the addiction to continue, sometimes because they want to avoid confrontation and conflict. As the enabling continues, the addiction continues as well-and becomes progressively worse. It is important to understand that enabling an addict is never a loving act-and only leads to more severe consequences as time goes on.

Do you often feel misunderstood and under-appreciated? Do you long for more connection in your relationship, but struggle to express your feelings and needs effectively? You want good things for yourself: great relationships, a healthy routine, a satisfying career path. You deserve all of this – and yet, your efforts are not getting you the results that you want. You may think that others are not cooperating with you, or that the world is unfair. And while sometimes that's true, your mood, self-esteem, and overthinking brain also may have other plans for you, making it difficult to move forward.

I believe that we all experience discomfort in our life. It can be physical, mental or emotional but it is all connected. Feeling down, stuck, angry, hurt or sad is a part of being human but it doesn't meant we cannot do something about it. Injuries are a normal part of life. Some are caused by us and some are caused by others, some are physical and some are emotional, some heal quickly while others seem to never go away but there are things we can do to help or hurt the healing process. Using a variety of techniques, we can work together to develop a recovery plan that works for you.

Soraya Mortimer
A Registered Psychologist in Vancouver since 1980, I am passionate about exploring the subconscious mind, assisting my clients to clarify and accomplish their goals, personal and professional. My ideal client has some knowledge of themselves and is deeply motivated to change. Patterns that respond very well to hypnotherapy include smoking, emotional eating, addictions, phobias and insomnia. Hypnotherapy can clear sabotages to success, blocks to self esteem, blocks to creativity, procrastination, fear of public speaking, and help athletes achieve optimal sports performance. Relationships: I love to work with couples experiencing relationship issues, helping them learn to express and listen to each other from the heart.
