| Extra Info | : | With Christiane Sanderson Whispered across countless therapy rooms, these words illuminate the profound paradox of addiction: a neurobiological attempt to contain what the human psyche experiences as fundamentally uncontainable. The apparent self-destruction masks a desperate — if ultimately unsustainable — system of emotional regulation. For seasoned clinicians, this moment carries profound recognition. What presents as “substance misuse” or “compulsive behaviour” — under closer examination — reveals itself as a tangled web of survival strategies: clients wielding the only regulatory tools their developmental environment afforded them. By shifting our clinical gaze, a different narrative comes into view — one where addiction shows up as a protective strategy, designed not for destruction, but for survival and psychological continuity. |
