A Case Summary:
My Online Life Coach approach regarding alcohol, gambling, other addictions and situational depression
I became R.’s Online Life Coach as a result from an e-mail question regarding a sister’s concerns about her brother’s (33) drinking, poor social skills and other disturbing habits, like irrational money spending, losing things and neglect of paying bills. She complained that his drinking had developed into dependency, helplessness and Depression regarding his responsibilities. He actually left everything for his family to "worry about”. When they mentioned this to him, he became frustrated, blew up and got violent. He was recently admitted to a treatment facility due to a DUI...
Drinking, gambling or any other addiction and even situational Depression, I explained, are subject to many explanations, endless excuses, complex theories and a long list of treatment approaches. My view is that addiction and situational Depression relate to RELATIONSHIP: either to your “Self”, due to low self-esteem, or to your significant other(s), when you feel inadequate due to Social Anxiety and fear of failure. This is the underlying cause that elicits the need and attachment to a ‘substitute friend’ and a mood changing substance. In R.'s case, it was alcohol.
Relationships with your “Self” and with your “Significant Others” are very complex issues and not too simple to solve; usually months of individual counseling are therefore needed. Career Counseling was the first process and luckily enough, R. passed the interview process for a new job and was accepted. He was then ready to re-examine his Stress Management skills as well as his communication patterns. The next stage was learning and exercising decision-making processes (about money, household chores, family obligations and so on). Thereafter he started with the re-assessment and revitalization of his dating and intimacy style as he was planning to move-in with his girlfriend. After four months of serving as R.'s online Life Coach, he started to follow a tight Behavioral Modification plan that succeeded with his alcohol consumption (his sister and girlfriend were the social rewarding agents).
