]]> Addiction can affect your life in many ways which can be more than just substance abuse. It can be caused by alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gambling and more. Long-term addiction can lead to death, mental health issues, cancer, diseases, losing your job, losing friendships and loved ones.

It is important to have something you can look at that will help you know that you are not alone, and you can recover from your addiction. This can be done by knowing the 7 C’s of Addiction.

The 7 C’s of Addiction can help you or others suffering from addiction:

  • I didn’t CAUSE it.
  • I can’t CONTROL it.
  • I can’t CURE it.
  • But I can help take CARE of myself.
  • By COMMUNICATING my feelings.
  • Making healthy CHOICES.
  • And CELEBRATING me.

Let us know if the 7 C’s worked for you! Let’s DO THE WORK and celebrate the recovery!

No thanks. Nah, I’m good. I’m driving. I’m on antibiotics. I have to be up early. I’m leaving soon.  My mom will know.  My husband asked me not to. I don’t feel good. I’m training for a sport. I get drug tested for work. I don’t drink what’s here. I’m still hungover from yesterday.  I’m trying to lose weight. I’m not interested. Alcohol isn’t my thing. I don’t want to.

Saying “No” or quitting alcohol can be harder for others, but there’s is always support if you need help.

If you are having trouble quitting alcohol or need extra help, visit a therapist at BCA Therapy. We are here to help guide you through the process of sobriety.

]]> Alcohol equals temporary fun with permanent consequences! Long-term effects of alcohol include:

  • anxiety
  • changes in weight
  • memory loss and problems concentrating
  • difficulty focusing
  • family and relationship issues
  • insomnia
  • difficulty completing tasks.

With all the long-term effects of alcohol, why would you want to drink alcohol.

Most of our social lives revolve around alcohol, which is not healthy but can lead to the risk of addiction.

Choosing to be sober may seem like a hard task, but all you need is to find hobbies and activities that can replace drinking alcohol. Here are things to do without drinking alcohol:

  • Movie-night
  • Having a cook-out and playing board or yard games
  • Playing sports
  • Going for a run
  • Drinking new nonalcoholic drinks
  • Read a book.
  • Working Out
  • Hanging out with friends.
  • Listening to music

When you stop drinking and become sober you will start to see a lot of improvements which include:

  • Having more energy.
  • Your liver will start to repair itself.
  • You will feel happier.
  • Your skin may improve.
  • You may think more clearly.
  • You may have better relationships.
  • You may feel more productive.
  • Your risk for developing diseases will decrease.

Quitting drinking will be the best think you can do. Do you want to live your best life and become sober? Maybe this will be the reason why.

]]> Recovering for narcisstic abuse is possible, but it requires an incredible amount of strength and courage. Courage that you absolutely possess, if you’re willing to “Do the Work”. At BCA Therapy we have therapists in Yardley and Wayne, Pennsylvania that specialize in narcissistic abuse and are here to support you on this journey of recovery. Yourself respect has to run deeper than your feelings. Loving someone isn’t a reason to stay with someone who is continuously hurting you and disrespecting you. This is what is called a toxic relationship. If you do not take the first step and do the right thing by leaving the narcissist this will affect your mental health.

How can a narcissist impact your life? Let’s look at the jar here is how:

How much more are you going to take from a narcissist? Don’t you think it’s time to get away from them? The answer is you should take no more from them and get away from them. They are ruining your mental health. The jar can only hold so much just like your emotions! Don’t let it get that full before it overflows. This requires courage and strength to stay away from narcissists. But at BCA Therapy, we believe everyone is capable of doing this if you are willing to put the work in and do so. It will be so worth it, and the extra baggage will be lifted off you mentally.

Visit BCA Therapy we are located in the Bucks County and on the Main Line in Wayne, Pennsylvania! We have therapists that specialize in narcissistic abuse can help support you on your journey to recovery.

]]> Untreated trauma is a recipe for relapse. We can have all the coping skills, support teams, and relapse prevention plans at our disposal. But if we are getting to the root of it, if we aren’t talking about those incredibly hard to talk about things, relapse is pretty much inevitable. Go as slow as you need but also give yourself the gift of true recovery and do the work.

The most common ways past trauma can lead to relapse is if you attempt to fight your addiction without professional help. Most treatment programs involve a certain degree of cognitive behavioral therapy and counseling that address your personal history and underlying emotions that may prevent recovery. PTSD can be difficult to treat, when left untreated, the mental health condition can cause significant psychological, physical, and social issues. Not only are veterans with PTSD at risk of suffering emotionally, but the condition puts them at an increased risk for severe life-threatening conditions.

Therapy can support anyone who has experiences trauma, no matter how bigger or how small you think it may be. Therapy can help you:

  • Develop New Coping Skills
  • Limit Negative Thoughts
  • Sleep Better
  • Put Feeling into Words
  • Decrease Anxiety
  • Limit Depression
  • Improve Relationships

The effects of trauma do not have to last a lifetime. At BCA Therapy, we are here to help. BCA Therapy is located in Wayne, PA and Yardley, PA. We want to help you treat your untreated trauma.
