Counter intuitive addiction therapy

3


3 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Jul 24, 2018

I can explain how and why addiction is something that can be overcome by embracing the realities about it. most recovery services focus on how you are powerless, and avoiding admission of personal responsibility. I throw all of that out the window and can effectively argue why and how addiction is not a disease, but rather a symptom of a mind which is suffering from any number of other ailments, including mental illness.

Training & Qualifications


I am a fully recovered "drug addict"- nearly all drugs. I pulled myself out of the lifestyle by shifting my thinking and perspective about responsibility, values, and intellectual honesty.

No degree, obviously, but during my many years of poor decision making, I never once encountered even one licensed drug therapist or counselor that could admit that it ultimately boils down to choice once it contradicted their beliefs in a "higher power"- and sorry, but if "god" is your qualifying factor over the piece of paper you paid for- well, my qualification is actually living through it and understanding it.

kind of like how it doesn't matter if you believe in gravity, it still exists, and it's a matter of whether or not you understand it.

Availability & Preferences


it varies. whenever I'm not working or otherwise involved with someone or something else. if you need my advice or help, you'll get it, it just might take anywhere from NOW to a few hours!

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

I'll only be excited to use Simbi if I can actually accomplish something with it- helping people. being helped myself isn't something I really consider.

About David Smalley

I'm a teacher, but not the school kind. I'm the kind that can help you or anyone learn to help themselves. I'm particularly good at helping people work through addiction, depression, and suicidal idea...tion. I'm only on this platform because I hope to help anyone who needs help with anything like I've mentioned. My story is batman-level batshit crazy, and I'm more than qualified through both experience and education to act as a therapist for anyone who struggles with regular therapists, who have only learned what they know in books. show more
