Therapists frequently encounter clients grappling with various forms of addiction, whether rooted in substances, food, gambling, or sex. However, the treatment process itself can sometimes trigger deep-seated traumatic experiences, particularly connected to feelings of guilt and shame. Integrating an awareness of trauma into the therapeutic approach of addictions, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy emerges as a non-pathologizing treatment modality. It facilities a profound exploration wherein clients can “befriend” their addictive parts, fostering understanding of their positive protective intentions. This discussion will delve into the intersection of addiction and trauma, elucidating how to navigate associated beliefs, behaviors, and biological conditions prevalent in addictive behaviors. Moreover, it will illuminate strategies to guide clients towards healing the underlying traumatic wounds beneath their addictions.
