International expert on addiction and co-dependency, Pia Mellody, has described that addiction is a substitute activity that aims to divert a person's attention from a reality that is unbearable for them. Because it has the power to overshadow the pain that inevitably comes with living, addiction - regardless of its type - becomes the most important priority in a person's life, robbing attention and time that should belong to other priorities, such as children.
I specialize in working with people suffering from codependency and addiction because of my own personal experience with these complex psychological conditions. And also in dealing with these conditions.
For those of you who want to work with these topics, I can offer 1:1 sessions online or on site. To do this, write to me: info@andrespohjala.com.
