Nick Kemp - Treating Compulsive Gambling Addictions
I see lots of clients with gambling addictions and compulsions. There can of
course be a host of reasons as to why a person feels compelled to engage in
this kind of behaviour, but as with many other addictions, the individual
usually finds themselves stuck in an emotional loop where they keep
thinking, feeling and behaving in exactly the same manner. I have written
articles on this and have been interviewed for
radio.
Many gamblers discover that they are locked into fixed patterns of behaviour
where they are constantly thinking about what could happen, in other words
they are always thinking about the future and as such are never at ease in
the present. Often such types will be very mentally active and find it
difficult to relax. Of course this is all learned behaviour and change is
entirely possible with the right approach, which in my experience steers
away from "analysing the problem" and instead focuses on how to think, feel
and respond differently to create better choices for a enhanced sense of
well being. The gambling addiction usually causes financial and relationship
problems and often wives and/or husbands will contact me on each other's
behalf to seek advice. Many of my clients have tried group therapy,
counselling and psychotherapy without success and are literally at their
wit's end when they ring or e-mail me.
NLP, Hypnotherapy and Provocative Therapy are all approaches I use in my
Leeds therapy practice and I usually see clients with gambling addictions
most weeks and have had a great deal of success with this kind of problem.
