From a non-pathologizing perspective addictions are understood as 'creative adjustments' or survival strategies that have developed into chaotic or rigid habits of self- regulation subjectively experienced as "out of my control". Although our best attempt at establishing some form of regulation, these habits of simulating self-regulation can profoundly constrain our functioning, health and relationships, as well as impair our movement towards emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual integration. For many clients, addictive habits of thinking, perceiving or behaving are a core feature of their presenting struggles and are all too often their best attempt at surviving the impact of a dys-regulated nervous system, or meeting ones core relational, developmental and existential needs. This two-day workshop is for professionals wanting to learn about working with addictions from a gestalt, Buddhist psychology and somatic experiencing lens. The workshop will support an application to working with a broad range of addictive impulses and behaviours. Participants will be given an overview of gestalt theory and somatic experiencing principles in relation to understanding and effectively working with addictions.
