Guest guest Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 ,I've never been a particularly big fan of labeling. You really like to do things that give you pleasure--so you're an " addictive personality " . Maybe you like to do them too much and it gets in the way of other things in your life. But you appear to have stopped the drugs, (I hope not) the sexual activity, (I hope not) the exercise. When people do things more than they want to do them, it's often related to a level of anxiety or depression they don't want to experience. Training NF to change the patterns established in your brain's " energy economy " can reduce the power of those underlying feelings that perhaps you don't like to let yourself feel, and thus it can reduce the need to find things strong enough to distract you. There is a specific protocol called Alpha Theta training which has been very helpful for many who deal with this pattern. It is very much like the 12-step programs that lead you to the point of admitting that you don't necessarily control your life and that guide you into contact with those parts of your past that you need to accept and integrate into yourself. In most cases, once you've allowed that to happen, the " addictions " cease to be controlling.
