Counselling for Addiction..

Addiction involves craving for something intensely, loss of control over its use, and continuing involvement with it despite adverse consequences. Addiction changes the brain, first by subverting the way it registers pleasure and then by corrupting other normal drives such as auto suggestion, creative thinking, immune system/ aura, learning systems, Self motivation, social contribution mindsets etc. Addiction exerts a long and powerful influence on the brain that manifests in three distinct ways: craving for the object of addiction, loss of control over its use, and continuing involvement with it despite adverse consequences.

For many years, experts believed that only alcohol and powerful drugs could cause addiction. Neuroimaging technologies and more recent research, however, have shown that certain pleasurable activities, such as  unnecessary shopping, gambling, asking help all time, putting down mindsets, hidden relationship within four walls, taking  only one special-coworker's extra care, sex, non praising God etc. can also co-opt the brain. Although multiple addictions, each tied to a specific substance or activity, consensus is emerging that these may represent multiple expressions of a common underlying brain process.

In the 1970s, when researchers first began to investigate what caused addictive behavior, they believed that people who developed addictions were somehow morally flawed or lacking in willpower.
