Meet Dr. Laura Petracek, a Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience. She uses evidence-based therapies, like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help individuals struggling with addiction, mood disorders, and anger management. With a non-judgmental approach, Dr. Petracek creates a safe and understanding environment for her clients, including adults, children, adolescents, and those with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and learning disabilities. With her experience and extensive training, she's dedicated to helping her clients achieve lasting change.
3 Top Tips:
Addiction is often stigmatized, but it affects more individuals than is commonly acknowledged. Radical acceptance embraces the concept that life events occur, and by accepting them, one can experience a more fulfilling life.
Establish a strong support network - the impact of another person's words and presence in our lives can be significantly underestimated.
I have greatly benefited from incorporating DBT skills into my journey alongside the 12-step program. I highly recommend utilizing DBT to aid in the development of self-acceptance and emotional regulation for individuals facing addiction.
