Recovery

If you are one of the millions of people who regularly engage in compulsive self-defeating or self-destructive behaviors you are undoubtedly ambivalent about stopping or changing these behaviors. Or you may have already begun the recovery process but are struggling. In either case, Nolan has decades of experience helping people just like you, either find recovery for the first time or improve their ongoing recovery process.

You Want to Stop!

One part of you wants desperately to stop or change what you’re doing. It makes sense. The consequences from these behaviors are already alarming or about to become worse than that. You’ve done things you never thought you’d do. Money, health, time, opportunities for other activities have been lost to this terrible unyielding compulsion. You know that you’re hurting yourself and that you’re probably hurting the ones you love as well. This can’t go on. You know you have to stop or somehow change what you’re doing. That’s why you’re on this website reading these words, looking for help.

You Don’t Want to Stop!

But unfortunately it’s just not that simple. Another part of you feels differently. This part of you doesn’t believe you can stop. Maybe it doesn’t even want to. Or perhaps it believes that the pleasure or satisfaction derived from these behaviors is too powerful or too necessary to give up or modify. This part thinks: “I’ll stop tomorrow” or “I can handle this” or “It’s just not possible to stop or change my behavior. If I could change I would’ve done it already”.

Or You’re Struggling

For some people recovery seems to appear, at least from the outside, easy. These people have stopped or modified their behavior and are enjoying the fruits of recovery. They don’t seem to backslide into their unwanted behaviors. But looks can be deceiving. In fact, for the vast majority of people the recovery process is not a straight path. There are ups and downs, cross currents, backslides, stalls, falls, bouncebacks, periods of calm, true happiness, and times of tumult, doubt and uncertainty. How can you stop the relapse merry go round? How can you improve the recovery you already have? How can you achieve emotional stability, enjoy healthy relationships, heal the shame, change the codependent behavior, do better at work and with your family? If your recovery is not where you’d like it to be, Nolan can help you have the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.
