Addiction, Meaning and Spirituality | Dr. Nancy Reeves | MC4 W13
Dr. Nancy Reeves, Ph.D.
Workshop leader, Clinical psychologist, Adjunct faculty University of Victoria
The process of addiction to any substance or object, may be begun, or exacerbated, by the inability to deal with loss. Loss is defined as any experience that restricts an individual; from the concrete bereavement and chronic illness to the nebulous shattering of a dream or assumption. This workshop will examine the difference between healthy and unhealthy grief, and provide a number of practical helping strategies to empower the griever. A focus will be on spiritual concepts, issues, and methods, such as learning to forgive, dealing with shame and guilt, and working with 'expensive emotions' such as vengeance. Dr. Reeves will demonstrate her Trauma Desensitization Technique for desensitizing intrusive thoughts, and illustrate, through case examples, her way of working with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.
Education objectives:
Attendees will learn:
The linkage between loss and addiction
The difference between healthy and unhealthy grieving
The spiritual concepts and practices of dealing with shame, guilt and vengeance
The Trauma Desensitization Technique of dealing with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
