🧠 Harm Reduction in Addiction Care
✔️ Therapy can help before abstinence
✔️ Substance use often serves a psychological function
✔️ Any step toward less harm matters
Less stigma. More engagement. More lives saved.
(Tatarsky, 2019)
Things that count as progress:
✔️ Cancelling a session because you know you need rest
✔️ Naming your feeling instead of numbing it
✔️ Saying “I don’t know” — and staying curious
Celebrate the tiny shifts. They’re not tiny at all.

Burnout doesn’t always look like exhaustion.
Sometimes it looks like:
🧊 Numbness
📆 Dread before sessions
🧠 Brain fog
🚪 Fantasizing about quitting
It’s not weakness. It’s your nervous system asking for help.
