One of our clients who has been with us for a number of weeks was struggling to let go of her idealisation of her drug of choice, cocaine. To help her to overcome this, a counsellor suggested that she writes a letter to break up her relationship with it, as if it were a letter to end a human relationship. Staff who read the letter were blown away with the detail and quality of her writing.
The client has allowed us to share her beautifully written and beautifully recorded audio version of her letter which can be listened to below.
