Addiction Recovery & Compulsive Coping Patterns

You don’t have to hide your pain in order to be loved.

Addiction and compulsive behaviors are not signs of weakness—they’re often signs of deep emotional pain. Whether it’s emotional eating, alcohol, screen time, overworking, or other coping patterns, these behaviors may have helped you survive—but they’re no longer helping you thrive.

At Soul Prism Therapy, we support adults across Ontario navigating addiction, recovery, and the emotional roots of compulsive behavior. We offer nonjudgmental, trauma-informed care that honors your resilience while helping you rewrite the story.

You may relate to:

• Feeling out of control with certain habits or behaviors

• Using substances or distractions to numb emotions

• Hiding your pain or feeling ashamed of your coping patterns

• Struggling to break cycles of guilt and secrecy

• Wanting to change but fearing what you’ll feel if you stop

In therapy, we will:

• Identify the emotional roots of your behavior with compassion

• Explore the needs your coping strategies have been meeting

• Build healthier ways to regulate and connect

• Support your recovery or harm-reduction goals—without shame

You don’t need to hit “rock bottom” to get support. You are allowed to want better for yourself—right now.
