Evidence-based approaches
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Spots the thought-feeling-action loops that fuel urges, then rewires them with practical skills you take into the moment.
DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Pairs acceptance with change. Especially useful when emotions feel too big to ride out without acting on them.
Trauma-focused CBT
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Combines CBT with trauma-specific protocols. Most evidence-validated for adolescent trauma; also used with adults.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Stops fighting hard feelings and instead points your action toward what you actually value.
Narrative therapy
Narrative Therapy. Treats the problem as separate from the person. Helps you re-author the story you tell about your life so you stop being defined by the addiction chapter alone.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. Practices noticing urges without acting on them, building the gap between trigger and choice.
