Addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, the internet, pornography and/or masturbation afflicts Australians from all social, age and gender groups. Any kind of compulsive behaviour that becomes central in your life and over which you have little control and which you may continue to do despite negative consequences, is an addiction. You will find that the addictive behaviour overtakes your life, interferes with your work performance, negatively impacts on your relationships and result in many other negative consequences such job loss, relationship breakdown and bankruptcy. If you believe you may be developing an addiction, or have suffered from addiction to substances , sex, the internet or gambling, or even if you want to explore whether your behaviour is negatively impacting your life, you may benefit enormously from speaking to a professional counsellor, psychologist or therapist here in the Sydney metropolitan area.
Sadly, many addicts suffer in silence, sometimes because they are unwilling to admit the problem to themselves, at others times because of the social stigma associated with addictive behaviour. We strongly urge you not to let this happen to you. Attending therapy or counselling sessions as well as speaking to a Sydney Clinical Psychologist can give you speciailist help to overcome your problem behaviours and lead a more fulfilling life.
