Addressing behaviours that are a bodily response to threat and a wired in mechanism of survival
Over forty years of keeping my clients company I have developed a model that understands addiction as an adaptive attempt to regulate emotional states. Addictive behaviors are self- soothing/self harmful ways to survive when we aren’t able to calm ourselves. These behaviors do not come from sickness: they come from a bodily response to threat and a wired in mechanism of survival. The Felt Sense/ Polyvagal Model (FSPM) addresses addiction where it lives, in the body.
