Addiction Counselling NZ
Addiction - Introduction
Counsellors and therapists in New Zealand who can support you when you suffer from addiction.
Addiction is a difficulty in controlling certain repetitive behaviours to the extent that they have harmful consequences. This repetitive behaviour is a result of powerful compulsions to use and do certain things excessively, often out of a need to escape from upsetting emotions/situations.
It can trigger a self-perpetuating process, which can cause pain and suffering not only for those addicted, but also for their friends and family.
Generally an addiction is defined as a habit that has become out of control to the extent that the sufferer is dependent on it for coping with daily life.
