Afhængighed og terapi

• Føler du, at du har mistet dig selv i dit forhold?• Er din længsel efter kærlighed endt med at blive en ulykkelig kamp?• Savner du svar på, hvorfor du har så svært ved at slippe ham og stå op for dig selv?Når man gør et andet menneske til sin største kilde for kærlighed, stilles man i en sårbar og afhængig position. Følelsesmæssig afhængighed er en pinefuld tilstand, der medfører smerte, stress og afmagt.Jagten efter kærlighed og anerkendelse får dig til at ofre egne grænser og værdier.

I alt for­tæller mere end 40 voksne børn af alkoholikere om barndommens barske oplevelser – om at leve med dem og gøre sig fri af dem.

Afhold dig fra at drikke I tredive dage og find ud af hvordan du har det. Annie Grace væbner sine læsere med forskningsbaseret information for at gore noget ved den kulturelle og følelsesmæssige programmering, vi udsættes for i forbindelse med alkohol. Resultatet er en opmærksom fremgangsmåde, som giver læseren kontrollen tilbage og permanent standser trangen. Der er et kapitel viet til hver dag i eksperimentet - der er visdom, testede strategier, og provokerende ny information, som supplerer planen og støtter den trinvise succes, når man opdager, hvad der føles rigtigt.

Vi er alle sårbare over for afhængighed. Det kan være en næsten tvangslignende drift efter at tjekke mobilen eller at overspise, at ryge, at drikke eller noget helt andet, men driften er kendetegnet ved ukontrollable gentagelser.– Hvorfor er de dårlige vaner så svære at overvinde?– Hvordan overkommer vi trangen til det, vi ved, er usundt for os?Denne bog giver banebrydende svar på de vigtigste spørgsmål om afhængighed.– Den viser, hvordan vi kan sætte fingeren på de processer, som stimulerer afhængighed, og derved slippe fri af dem.– Den beskriver de mekanismer, som ligger bag vanetænkning og dannelsen af afhængighed, og hvordan mindfulness kan bryde med disse mekanismer.– Den peger via konkrete patientforløb, egne erfaringer med mindfulness og videnskabelige fakta på en vej væk fra trang og stress – en vej mod et rigere liv.

Psykedeliske stoffer udbredes med hastig fart i Danmark, hvor stadig flere prøver f.eks. MDMA eller psykedeliske svampe i terapeutiske sammenhænge. Men hvad kan disse stoffer og hvad kommer det til at betyde for vores samfund? Det svarer Et psykedelisk Danmark på. Bogen er en antologi med bidrag fra flere end 30 af de førende eksperter på området i Danmark. Imponerende forskningsresultater, medrivende fortællinger og passionerede aktivister har bidraget til at både medier, medicinalindustrien og offentligheden for alvor er begyndt at åbne øjnene for disse substanser, som nogle mener kommer til at blive en revolution for psykiatrien. Også i Danmark er området i rivende udvikling og der forskes i psykedelika på de fleste danske universiteter, mens et stigende antal terapeuter udbyder såkaldt “undergrundsterapi”. Nogle indtager psykedelika i nattelivet i de danske byer, mens andre tager til Peru for at prøve ayahuasca i junglen.Alle vil være med; psykologer, psykoterapeuter og psykiatere, neuroforskere, socialforskere, bioforskere og psykoforskere, big pharma, small pharma, new pharma, old pharma, shamaner, healere, influencere, magikere og undergrundsfacilitatorer, oprindelige kulturer, moderne teknologi, lokale fællesskaber og internet-psykiatri, aktivister, pessimister, optimister og hedonister. Men hvor er vi på vej hen? Og er der et fælles fodslag? I denne bog deler Danmarks førende eksperter på det psykedeliske område deres tanker om effekterne af psykedelika, hvordan de kan bruges i behandlingsøjemed, hvordan de allerede bliver brugt ude i samfundet, hvordan og hvorfor nogle individer anvender dem i deres personlige udvikling, hvad man skal være opmærksom på, og hvilket potentiale de har for vores samfund.Om redaktøren:Kevin Mikkelsen er daglig leder i Center for Psykedelisk Dannelse og selvstændig terapeut ved Liminala Terapi.

For readers of Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father and Hockey Confidential, Down and Back tells broadcaster Justin Bourne’s story of following his Hall-of-Fame father not only to the NHL, but also into rehab.Bob Bourne was everything a son wants to emulate—an NHL All-Star, a Sports Illustrated “Sportsman of the Year,” a Stanley Cup champion. Justin Bourne followed in those huge footsteps, leading his teams in scoring year after year, and finally garnering an invitation to the New York Islanders’ training camp—the same team his father had played for. But Bourne was also following his father down a darker path.Though he hadn’t begun drinking until he was 21, by 36 his drinking had nearly swamped his career and his marriage. In an act of brutal self-honesty—which may not have been possible if not for his understanding of how lying spurred by alcoholism can cause a family pain—Bourne got help, got sober, and confronted what his father and the game mean to him.Down and Back is a frank and unflinching appraisal of the game and Bourne’s relationship with it: the violence and danger, the booze and drugs, the consequences of fame. But it is also an honest look at what is redeeming about the sport, through the eyes of someone who grew up in NHL dressing rooms, who has skated on NHL ice as both a player and a coach, and who inherited the game from a man he’s grown to better understand by looking more closely at himself.

Russell Brand: "Faktum er, at det er ligegyldigt, om du gambler i en grad, så det skader dig, om du drikker for meget, om du er faret vild i dit liv, eller om du er bange for at sætte ord på, hvor ulykkelig du er, selv over for dig selv; hvor meget du frygter fremtiden, døden, andre mennesker, at være fattig, ikke at være god nok, sexet nok, tynd nok, rå nok, berømt nok, og hvis du bare kunne få ’X, Y eller Z, så ville alt være fint’. Hvis du har det sådan, er jeg ret sikker på, at du er en del af afhængighedsspektret. Ud fra denne definition: Du prøver at løse et indre problem ved hjælp af ydre midler på trods af de negative konsekvenser."1. Er du lidt fucked?2. Kunne du være ikke-fucked?3.

Unlike most books on families and addiction that provide prescriptive advice, When The Solution Becomes the Problem takes a different approach. This book partners with families, aiming to help them understand why implementing expert recommendations can be so challenging. By delving in the "why," families gain insights into their current crisis and the factors contributing to it. The book's primary goals are twofold. Firstly, it aims to provide comprehensive information on addiction and trauma, drawing from scholarly literature while presenting it in a family-friendly style with relatable stories and clinical descriptions. Real-life scenarios woven through the chapters allow readers to recognize themselves and their family's circumstances from fresh perspectives. Secondly, the book encourages readers to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, leading to growth, healing, and positive change for the entire family system. Divided into two parts, the educational section offers insights into addiction as a chronic, progressive disease that hijacks the brain's reward system and impairs a loved one's self-awareness of their problem. The trauma chapters introduce readers to a continuum of traumas, including Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Transgenerational Trauma, Complex/Developmental Trauma, and Secondary Trauma arising from living with a loved one struggling with addiction and trauma. The second part of the book expands on resilience as both an individual and family process, exploring the dynamics of change, improving communication, and the path to family healing. These chapters provide practical steps empowering individual family members to effect positive changes that ripple into transformative shifts for the entire family. The book guides families in supporting their loved ones' journey to recovery and reintegration into the family with full membership. Ultimately, the book aims to guide families away from the perspective of "we are a family with a loved one who struggles with addiction" towards embracing the identity of "we are a family in recovery from addiction and trauma." By fostering understanding, empathy, and actionable guidance, this book seeks to empower families to break free form the cycle of addiction and trauma, promoting healing and a renewed sense of togetherness.
