Talk Therapy Addiction Treatment South Houston
There are many types of talk therapy, and they can all be useful for different things. Some common types that you have probably heard of are CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and role-playing, a type of alternative therapy.
Expressing yourself through finding a talk therapy or writing therapy program in Kemah, TX, can help you identify negative experiences and emotions and find long-term coping strategies that help you maintain your recovery.
Using Talk Therapy to Recover from Substance Abuse
The types of talk therapy that have been clinically proven to work best for addiction and dual diagnosis patients are therapies that help people to change their behaviors. Other types of treatment are then integrated to dig down deep as well as to create new coping skills.
If you are open to it, Kemah Palms Recovery®’s talk therapy program in Kemah, TX is a great way to get to know yourself; it is incredible the things you figure out when you can finally be honest about how you do things.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a form of behavioral therapy where you essentially reveal to your counselor how you process thoughts before you take actions.
For example, whenever your boss points out a mistake and politely asks you to fix it, you take it personally and sometimes have an emotional outburst at home or the gym because of it. You and your therapist talk about the situation, and you figure out that you feel upset because you feel like you are stupid and worthless because you did something wrong.
Did your boss say you did something stupid, or that you were worthless? No, they didn’t, and they didn’t fire you. So, what’s the problem? Come to find out anytime you got less than an A on a report card growing up your parents would punish you.
You and your counselor decide that this is the reason for the distortion in your thinking and reaction to your boss. The next time it happens, you accept your feelings and remember why you are feeling that way. Maybe you journal about it or talk to a friend about it to get it off your chest, and you end up correcting that distortion in your thinking over time.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a form of CBT. It works to help people deal better with negative emotions as above. Negative emotions can lead to cravings, and DBT will help people to overcome those in the long run. Here you work to balance the polar opposites that exist in a person’s brain.
A lot of the time, people will fall to extreme stances when it comes to views on themselves. Often, these are negative views. DBT uses mindfulness and other techniques to get people to move away from the extremes and allow themselves some room to breathe before making a judgment. DBT usually leads to overall better acceptance of one’s self.
MET (Motivational Enhancement Therapy)
Motivational Enhancement Therapy is a type of therapy that allows people to work through their ambivalence. Addiction can be tricky; an addicted person can be fully aware of the fact that they have a problem and yet still be in complete denial about it. The denial is born from the addiction itself.
This type of therapy guides patients to work on creating new habits and behaviors that are more healthy and productive to their lives even though they may be in denial.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
