Therapeutic support is provided to you or a loved one depending on your needs
Most people who use drugs or alcohol on a regular basis, do so, as a way to self-sooth, or as a way to escape their past trauma and/or receive relief from their mental health symptoms.
Trauma healing can therefore play a significant role in your recovery.
Nasim holds a multifaceted and multilayered understanding of the external perpetuating factors that impact a client’s state, window of tolerance and functioning.
Whilst there are many different therapeutic approaches to AoD work, Nasim takes on a contemporary approach model, in addressing the needs of clients that fall under this category, by applying research-based theories into practice.
Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory is a great example that is often applied in the work delivered to clients with AoD backgrounds.
Through the application of this theory in everyday practice, a thorough assessment of client’s potential developmental gaps is made, which can lead and affect the clinical process and help identify specific client needs in counselling.
An understanding of client developmental needs individualizes counselling, providing increased treatment efforts.
Furthermore, when dealing with clients with AoD backgrounds, an assessment of where the client is at, when it comes down to “the stages of change” is made on a regular basis and the client is met .
Whilst prevention and treatment approaches are extremely beneficial for clients in the “Action”, “Maintenance” and perhaps even “Relapse” stages of change, these strategies are not practical when it comes down to working with people in the “Pre-contemplation”, “Contemplation” and “Preparation” stages.
With these groups of clients, harm minimisation strategies and approaches are applied.
Nasim has a holistic understanding of one’s psychedelic drug experience, including one’s mindset, their physical and social environment (the setting) in which the client has the experience, as well as the drug of choice.
Nasim’s approach to intervention with people with Drug and Alcohol use issues is therefore tailored to include:
With focus on finding the roots to your limiting core belief systems and raising mindful awareness around how these were created and are impacting your daily life, long lasting changes in your self-talk can be achieved.
Dealing with traumatic memories is at the heart of therapy sessions. Nasim uses advanced techniques such as EMDR to help you deal with your explicit memories, triggers of PTSD and flashbacks.
Your readiness for EMDR and your Window of Tolerance for exposure will be assessed, and depending on your situation, other modalities such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy may be utilised and applied to help you deal with symptoms of PTSD and Trauma.
The pain of loss can feel overwhelming, but there are ways to cope with your grief. In sessions, Nasim can help you identify the stages of grief and reflect on your own personal journey.
Nasim can also help you find soothing ways to accept your loss to the point that it no longer has an impact on your daily life.
Therapeutic support is provided around learning about your own boundary styles based on your early attachment, and how to tailor your style to suit your current interpersonal needs.
Furthermore, support is provided around applying better communication skills within your relationships with family and/or friends. Marriage and Couples counselling, as well as Parenting support is also provided.
