Addiction & habits

When a relief loop quietly takes over the steering wheel.

Cognitive Regulation perspective

CR treats addiction as a learned regulation strategy — the substance or behaviour does a job. CR teaches the system another way to do that job, and supports the unwiring of the loop.

What is Cognitive Regulation?

Common signs

  • Drinking, smoking, scrolling, gambling, eating more than you intend to.
  • Trying to cut down and not being able to.
  • Using to manage feelings rather than enjoy life.
  • Conflict with the people closest to you about the habit.

Shame keeps the loop running

Most habit loops survive on the shame they generate. CR work begins by lowering that shame so the actual change becomes possible.
