Addiction is a common symptom of aspiring and accomplished artists, myself included. In this service, a multi-dimensional approach is used to identify and treat the root cause of substance and/or behavioral addiction(s), and is intended for artists who experience symptoms that interfere with creation, performance, and mental well-being. Many times the root cause of the symptom (addiction) can be buried under withdrawal symptoms or distraction associated with long term obsession/use. We loose track of why the symptom developed in the first place, and more importantly how to heal this within ourselves. This approach utilizes a combination of cleaning the addiction (removing the cloud cover associated with patterned use) in addition to guided self-exploration to identify and rectify the root cause(s) of the symptom (addiction). Multiple cycles of cleaning and guided self-interrogation are utilized until the client is released from the addiction (symptom) entirely.
This service is entirely confidential, and includes a wide variety of curative strategies gained through years of professional and personal experience, tailored for each individual. This includes working as a provider in addiction medicine (DNP) inner city Portland, intensive study of 12-step methodologies, comprehensive understanding of neurochemistry in addiction and mental illness, extensive work with plant medicine (I do not work with these medicines currently), energy movement, and healing techniques. My intention is to free the artist of needing anything external to tap into their creative flow. Session duration and frequency developed on a client to client basis. Email for consultation.
