Adam works with a client whose cocaine use intensified after losing a family member, exploring whether the behaviour is escapism or a form of self-destruction rooted in survivor’s guilt. The session identifies a possible unconscious ‘promise’ made in a moment of grief and rage, the idea that living fully would be unfair when someone else’s life was cut short. Using a reversal of the usual addiction pattern (dissociating from consequences, associating to pleasure), the induction has the listener vividly connect to the aftermath of use (shame, wasted time, isolation) before revisiting the original loss from the deceased’s imagined perspective, asking what they would actually want for the client. The session closes by planting a new, life-affirming promise in place of the old self-punishing one, encouraging expansion rather than contraction of life.
In this session:
- panning for gold (take what’s useful, discard the rest)
- bait and switch addiction reframe
- planting a seed/promise in a moment of grief
- condensing time to see life patterns from another’s perspective
- honouring a new promise instead of an old distorted one
