How does The Bay view addiction?
The Bay Approach™ sees destructive patterns of thought and behaviour, such as chemical and other dependencies, as an individual’s changeable creative adaptation for survival in the face of life events. Rather than seeing them as embedded for life, The Bay holds the view that these adaptations can change. We see addiction as a direct response to an unmet spiritual need: A misguided search for inner peace, for connection, for a sense of fulfillment and for a release from pain. The Bay Approach™ to healing and recovery has been developed in order to meet this spiritual need, utilising the therapeutic pillars of awareness, meditation and connection. We use evidence-based psychological practice, teamed with mindfulness meditation techniques to gently and expertly guide each person towards wholeness.
