Webinar that explores a new paradigm looking at addictions as a replacement for human connection and meaning. When humans do not find the connection and meaning we need in our lives, we resort to self-destructive behaviours in order to make ourselves feel better.
1st Learning Objective:
Understanding that attachment is a primary need, as important as food or shelter.
2nd Learning Objective:
We become addicted to feelings.
3rd Learning Objective:
How to support clients overcome the need to attach to objects/behaviours.
