Anger & Addictions

Would you like to know what Don Serratt, founder of LifeWorks thinks of us click here
It has long been known that alcohol and drugs can be used to self anaesthetise. Equally they are used as ways of bypassing angry feelings. They can also be used to numb the emotions and traumas that may cause anger and, as such, become anger replacements.
Beating Anger – Beating Addictions
We would not pretend that our work is going to turn a user in to a clean person. We simply offer our knowledge, expertise and skills as another tool in the box for your volunteers and staff.

We were invited over to Northern Ireland to work with a group of addicts and the teams working with them.

During our work we had two seminal moments. The first was a young lady with very low self esteem who used poetry as a way of dealing with the feelings she could not manage. She had written a poem about anger and agreed to share it.

The other seminal moment was during our work with the staff and volunteers.
On the staff training day one volunteer, an ex-teacher, declared “I don’t really want to be here. I have had enough of wasted training in my life, this will just be another waste of time.” She had arranged to leave early to collect a client. As she left, half way through the day she said “I wish I hadn’t arranged to do this now. This is the best training I have ever had and now I am missing it.”
