Addiction is a common yet difficult-to-manage problem. The person indulged in such behavior is unable to understand the degree and nature of loss one is going through. One of the best approaches to understanding the situation is to have a cost-and-benefit analysis of your act, it will not only help you understand the damage but also direct the course of action for making healthy living.
What Are the Theories Behind This Worksheet?
We are focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy for addiction and recovery by highlighting its significant essence of targeting the faulty thinking patterns of individuals. When one can understand the negative/harmful aspects of ‘addiction’ it will result in changing the behavior too. This theoretical perspective aligns well with the cost and benefit analysis of such behavior as it clarifies the distorted thinking and misperception of benefits the addicts associate with their behavior.
