Settle the past: DDA Therapy - Warsaw

Who are DDAs (Adult Children of Alcoholics)?

Adult Children of Alcoholics are individuals who grew up in families with alcohol problems. The addiction of a parent (or parents) negatively affected their development, disturbed their view of the world and forced them to develop specific defense mechanisms.

Inappropriate behavioral patterns brought from the family home cause DDA syndrome sufferers difficulties in regulating emotions and expressing their own needs.

Does the DDA syndrome affect you as well?

Do you remember from your childhood that your parent abused alcohol? Were you accompanied by feelings of insecurity and chaos? Sometimes even a feeling of guilt that you are doing something wrong and therefore all this is happening because of you?

Now in your adult life, do you notice troubling symptoms in yourself, such as:

❌ fear of losing control or, conversely, reluctance to take responsibility for one's actions;

❌ fear of change;

❌ low self-esteem, depression, a strong need for acceptance, and stepping into the role of "rescuer."

❌ difficulties in close relationships and intimate relationships;

❌ A sense of self-sufficiency and trust issues?

If so, you may be a person with DDA syndrome.

The emotional problems of children from dysfunctional families build up over the years. When a child enters adulthood, he is often not even aware that some of his behaviors are the result of past experiences.

How to deal with the DDA syndrome and is it worth it to go to DDA therapy?

A traumatic childhood in the shadow of alcohol is a stigma you can get rid of. You have already succeeded in taking that first step, which is to identify and name your problem. Now you have two options.

Self-accounting for the past

You can explore the topic of DDA syndrome on your own, such as reading scientific studies. This is definitely a longer road to understanding yourself. You will also need additional support from loved ones to accurately recognize certain patterns in your behavior.

DDA psychotherapy - individual or group

You can reach out for professional support and enroll in individual therapy or group therapy for Adult Children of Alcoholics. Talking to a therapist and confronting other people with similar experiences will help you successfully work through the trauma.
