Chris Counsellor message for the day

In my decade of counselling clients there is always one common denominator, guilt and shame. It sticks like bubblegum to shoes. They suppress it and pretend that their no longer experience the affects of this side effect caused during their years of active addiction. If you don’t work through these effects with someone who’s been through it, it will cause you unnecessary trauma from relapse to suicidal ideation down the line.
Going back into your past, dangerous neighbourhood, as we call it the devil will trigger shame and guilt because that’s the only place he still exist and he is a sneaky clever monster who wants you to feel that shame and guilt, because he wants you back in order to throw you under the bus and finish you off until you tap out. Do not go there alone take someone like me with you to kick him to the curb and close the door so well that he will give up on you because the Lord will command to leave you alone because you’re wash in the blood of Jesus and he has no more power over you.
You were using mind altering substances and you weren’t able to make appropriate choices. Don’t let this joker control your life, make you feel guilty and ashame about things you did when he was trying to destroy. Learn how he operates and recognise his modus operandi. Your old selfwill give you warning signs and you will recognise your old self slipping back in your behaviour and internal conversations, you know what I’m talking about.
I’m here to walk with you in that dangerous neighbourhood and shut him up for good. It was a bad season and not a life sentence.
Much love to each and everyone of your warriors going through this battle.
Give me a WhatsApp on 0810219267 and let’s sort this joker out together.
Blessings!

Whilst in active addiction, using daily, you give up everything from relationships, family, work…everything for one thing, your DOC aka drug of choice. Your life starts to wobble and the consequences become progressively worst but because it’s a disease and not always a choice but a genetically disposed situation which is triggered by the environment you grew up in and the right constellation of circumstances, and your find yourself in a situation you don’t know how to navigate. Despite trying your hardest to bring back normality and control along with moderation, your just find yourself in this place of despair, anxiety and various other emotions with no real way to explain what you’re going through.
You get annoyed when those close to you brings it up and subconsciously deny whatever they say, not because you want to but rather because it’s a natural defence mechanism your ego uses when you yourself have no idea why you’re not able to put an end to using despite the negative slippery slope consequences that accompanies your usage.
The stages that follows before you enter RECOVERY aka the day you decide to seek help and replace your maladaptive behaviours and thinking styles, basically giving up your DOC or 1 thing to get back everything you’ve lost whilst in active addiction.
The are:
* Pre-contemplation, normally identified by denying tat you have a problem and accompanied by the 4 R’s…rebellious, resigned, reluctance an rasionalization.
*Contemplation, might have a problem but no ned to phone Chris Counsellor or seek help.
* Preparation, you admit you have a problem and start looking at options to suit your finances and availability, can you afford to go to a rehab for months or phone Chris Counsellor for help through counselling online through video or in person meetings etc.
* Action, when you’ve seek help and start working on yourself and are ready to move into recovery and start the lifelong journey to learn the necessary tools and principles to live by to become the person you can respect and love. Take back control and be Honest, Open minded and willing,
Give me a call on 0810219267 and let’s get you back on the straight and narrow.
Blessings!

Two days ago a well respected counsellor from one of SA’s best rehabs said something that I agreed with 100%,” after you are sober for for many years why do you still have to voice that you’re an addict or rather a person with a Substance Use Disorder?” Why must you carry this identity that’s attached to a stigma which is so misunderstood. After being a decade sober surely you know how to identify and avoid red flags,, but still they persist that when you go o support groups, you must introduce yourself as…Hi my name is Chris and I’m an alcoholic or recovering alcoholic. Positive self-talk is fundamental and there is nothing positive about it. Constantly reminding yourself that you’re an addict is not only negative self-talk but it also brings back all of that trauma you went through when you were at your lowest which is also conducive to recovery even if you have dealt with it and worked through it.
We are wired differently because of something we were born with, in most cases anyway. We grew up in a very dark and isolated environment with low self esteem and just put on different masks to fit in with the environment.
At the end of the day, be honest with yourself, learn to love yourself, be aware of your shortcomings, act responsibly and live life to the fullest and never forget about the monster called addiction.
Plainly said, Don’t let become a life sentence, do what you need to do when you need to do it and get on with it after your sober long enough to trust yourself.

Goldielocks…. where does Goldielocks fits into addiction? Well, as a counsellor I will always tell my clients that they should Goldielocks the first couple of years in recovery. For those who are not familiar with the term recovery in addiction, it’s the period after active addiction where you give up everything for 1 thing, your DOC or drug of choice. Recovery is when you give up your DOC to regain everything you have lost in the process of addiction.
When you’ve lost everything even autonomy over your life and family, friends, wife, kids, work and your life becomes unmanageable YOU got knocked out by life, you lost the game and respect for yourself and your loved ones. This unfortunately not rock bottom for many, because family decides to send him to a rehab, and again, and again, and again….
Most of the people I had the privilege to counsel just wanted to get out of rehab and get on with their life’s, make good money and live happily ever after. Nothing wrong with the outlook or ambition except for the fact that you want to get back in the ring with an appointment that has knocked you out and kicked you to the curb, in some cases more then 10 times. I’ve met people who’s been to rehab 20 plus times and still they want to go and jump straight into a title fight with life and make big bucks, if you want to make big bucks you have to cope with high levels of stress and work 60-90 hour weeks.
People with the disease of addiction is not compatible with high levels of stress in early recovery. They need to start with with a job that’s not gonna include long hours and high stress levels.
That’s where Goldielocks come in…. Your life should neither be hard nor easy but JUST RIGHT. Generally ad more stress to your life once you can handle the current stress. Don’t rush because you will fall or relapse because that’s how we’re wired. Work on yourself and your sobriety is more important than big paycheques, the latter also a massive up there with the top 5 reasons that leads to relapse.
Progress not perfection, baby steps is fine. Practice everyday to ensure LIFE don’t knock you out for good. GOLDIELOCKS IT!!!

Blessings!

CBT aka Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, in layman’s terms basically means that when you change the way you think,you will change the way you feel and ultimately change the way you behave or act. CBT is a well accepted therapeutic style and forms the basis of a lot of therapies used by therapist for substance abuse, suicidal ideation, mood disorders like anxiety and depression, and many more.
Thinking,feeling and acting works in harmony…you do something stupid you regret it will have an effect on how you feel and think. If you feel depressed, negative you will act and think. You will only focus on the negative and not on the things that will disconfirm your negativity.
So try and live in the Here and the Now and practice awareness when it comes to thinking.What am I thinking about? Why am I entertaining the thought knowing very well it’s gonna make you feeling negative?
Your thoughts are not yours unless you entertain them because the brain generates thousands daily.
Being aware of your thoughts all the time or when you’re feeling negative you need to recognise the thought process prior.
Blessings,

Nothing changes if Nothing changes, is it a sentence, bumper sticker or is it something someone can write a thousand page doctrine about?
The latter has the potential for thousands to do. Addiction is a disease, the very clever people narrows it down to a disease of thinking and the substances or behaviours exhibited by those diagnosed with this disease is the cure and not the cause of addiction but rather a symptom fuelled by unhelpful thinking styles, maladaptive behaviours and poor decisions making, problem solving and social skills.
The opening sentence means that you cannot have the same thinking patterns in recovery as you did when you were in active addiction. You cannot go back to the environment that made you sick, you cannot hang out with the people you used with, you cannot behave the same when you’re sober as when you were using. You cannot have the same self respect or esteem you had, you basically have to reboot and take responsibility for your actions moving forward and admit when your behaviour and choices was not good. It takes a special kind of person, someone like you, to admit on a daily basis that you could have handled THAT situation differently. Don’t do anything that would cause you to lose self respect, because self respect is the currency of recovery. If you did someone wrong, apologise, if you take something without permission, own it and apologise.
You need to Change a lot of things about yourself to reap the gifts of recovery. If you work.it, it will work for you. If you don’t change you will be slowly strangled by this monster they call addiction. You change the way you think, you change the way you feel which ultimately will change the way you behave or act.
Make that change, or you can have your money back if it’s not worth it😃
You can and only you can.
I will gladly assist or find someone who can.

At The Guys Langebaan we are not ignorant to the fact that we don’t quite have the same reputation or experience as the well known companies in and around Langebaan, neither the infrastructure of a fleet of construction vehicles or twenty ladders, a few garages stocked with all the necessary equipment to tackle each painting or other service with ease. The latter does not impede on our ability to approach each job with confidence, reliability and guaranteed fulfilment of our clients needs. You only pay the other 50% when you’re happy and if we did a job and weeks later you see something reappear we will make it our priority to fix it for free. Reputation and good will can’t be bought and we will rather take a loss than having a reputation of talking the talk but not walking the walk. The flip side of the lack of a fleet of vehicles etc is lower quotes whilst still delivering reliable, efficient and affordable services.
From high pressure washing, plumbing, painting, addiction counselling, IT services and more, give The Guys a try and give us a call for a free quote probably on the same day. Not all jobs require a deposit and you only pay once you’re happy.
