Psychedelic Therapy for Gambling Addiction
Gambling Addiction
Gambling is one of the better understood process addictions that people commonly suffer from. Winning a bet gives just as powerful a neurological signal as a shot of morphine, and losing streaks carry the same symptoms as an addict in withdrawal.
Like any addiction, gambling addiction is incredibly destructive to a person’s emotional, physical, and psychological health, with far-reaching implications for their loved ones. The promise that one can win it all after losing everything, then do it all over again, is a difficult cycle to break.
But just like any other addiction, there is something in our behavior that is trying to communicate with us. The comfort of the card table or the slot machine fills something within that we feel is lacking, and we’ll strive after that reward no matter how deep in the hole we get.
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy for Gambling Addiction
When we are trapped in a cycle of winning and losing, it can be very difficult to exit that state of consciousness. With the connection of our skilled clinicians and the intentional use of ketamine therapy, you can gain a more objective view of how gambling is impacting your life and those around you. The internal conflict that finds a problematic solution through addiction will become more clear, and we will be able to guide you through those areas of intense pain and unknowing. Through deepening your understanding of yourself through skilled, empathic healers and intentional use of psychedelic-assisted therapy, you will have the opportunity to put your cards down and begin to live a life that you’re excited to wake up to everyday.
