In a world that constantly pushes us to do more, be more, and achieve more, it’s surprisingly easy to forget one essential skill: treating ourselves with kindness. Mindful self-compassion is the practice of noticing our struggles with awareness and responding to them with the same warmth we’d offer a friend.
At the Centre, we use a number of different perspectives and approaches to treat trauma. One that we often employ in our group psychotherapy programs is the workbook: Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma by Dr. Janina Fisher.
Addiction doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a gradual spiral—wrapped in routine, masked by denial, and often fueled by a desire to numb, escape, or survive. Whether it’s substance abuse, behavioral addictions, or compulsions, the experience is deeply personal. But so is recovery. And the road from addiction to healing is paved with one thing: hope.
