Introspective

Writing

Introspective writing, which involves personal reflection and self-examination through writing, can play a crucial role in addiction treatment for several reasons. It serves as a therapeutic tool that helps individuals understand and manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours associated with addiction.

Cognitive Awareness Training

Practiced through meditation, breathing exercises, and mindful observation, it enhances emotional regulation, reduces stress, and improves decision-making. By cultivating a mindful presence, individuals learn to recognize and detach from triggers, paving the way for more effective coping strategies and a deeper, more sustainable recovery from addiction.
