/AddictionsWhat started as relaxation, quickly becomes something you can't live without.
You know that a certain drug or behavior is harming you. You see the impact on yourself, your relationships, your work. And yet you keep going.
You may recognize the voice:
“One more time.”
“Last time.”
“Tomorrow I'll stop.”

What is an addiction?
An addiction is
no lack of willpower.
It is a chronic and progressive disorder in which several factors play a role:
genetic vulnerability
the functioning of your brain
trauma or major events
underlying psychological complaints
environmental factors
Without treatment, things usually don't get better. Addiction is often accompanied by shame and guilt. As a result, people denie, minimize or look for explanations outside themselves. At Affect2U, we don't look with judgment, but with insight. We help you understand what's going on and how you can take control again.

Many people today struggle not with one, but with several addictions at the same time. Or there is a dual diagnosis, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma in addition to substance or behavioral use.
