Counseling for Friends & Family of Addicts

The friends and family of people struggling with addiction are in a very difficult place. They always seem to know what the alcoholic or addict is going through. They can't stop doing it. It's not their fault. They just know.

Seems like they have no choice but to witness the difficult changes happening to their loved one. Yet they really have no control over it. It is very painful to watch. It's sometimes hard to believe. They often try everything in their power to help. It's likely that the best intentions and choices simply aren't enough. And that's a hard lesson to learn.

As alcoholism and/or drug addiction progresses, most people observe the predictable phases their loved one passes through. They learn to know it is inevitable that - as time passes - the addicted person may use more of their or drink or drug to get their desired relief. And little by little, they change into someone you almost can't recognize but you live with daily. 

That sounds simple. But it's a very strange trip you are on.  Pink Cloud Therapy gets that. There is often inappropriate anger expressed during intoxication. In response, expressions of suppressed feeling are endured feelings in the desire 'not to rock the boat.' Family roles have been twisted in the need to try to manage a person who is largely out of control. The risk of overdose or serious legal consequences are real.

Does this sound familiar? You may find you no longer find or feel pleasure or happiness in life. There are ways out of this, but you are not sure how that would work for you. First let's talk about it a bit.

If this sounds familiar, Pink Cloud Therapy might be able to help. It's different for everyone. Let's talk. Start somewhere to untangle this mess. NO long term commitment - let's just talk. 

Pink Cloud Therapy knows by experience that there is lots of hope in all this mess. We've seen good outcomes happen over and over.  You might need a little help getting the hang of how to handle it.  

We are here to help you find your way. There's no one way to do it.  But starting out on your path walking with someone who has been there is a start.

Call Pink Cloud Therapy at 609-342-7502 or choose a time and date in the form and we'll get back to you.
