What's gambling therapy?

Yeah, you read that correctly , it says people affected by gambling problem. But after reading I took an opposing view about it because gambling therapy shouldn't be something simply painted exclusively for people with gambling addiction problems alone. In as much as you're a gambler, whether a gambler that has his gambling habit under control, going for a gambling therapy should be a habit we should acculturate ourselves with, at least twice a year (ones in every 6months).

We go for monthly or quarterly health routine checkups not only because we're sick but to reduce any risk of getting sick before knowing. Right? same behavior can be applied to gambling , do you agree or it's not necessary until you start getting a gambling problem .

If someone had a gambling problem I would wager that they have a lot of other problems and addictions as well. Drinking smoking just to name a few, going to all the clubs I mean there are literally so many things on top bit of course it varies by person. If they do get this free help then good for them tho!

I'm not really sure about it though, I mean gambling is a totally different addiction, yeah there could be gamblers that smokes or drinks, but I haven't seen a gambler that really had another addiction.

So I was under the impression that if you have a addiction gambling, that's it. But if cases like you have drinking problem, you can also have smoking as this two works hand in hand. But in any case, I do believed that in any addiction, people need help or better yet, a professional health to help them get away from this conditions and become a better person.

Gamblers can undergo similar therapy techniques like their counterparts the drug addicts. But, on the long run, the changes wouldn't be as fast as to be compared to a therapist who specializes on handling gambling addicts. I could recall that drug addicts are being sedated to sleep for hours and they could be recovering from it, after days of not staying on drugs.

An addict is challenged to always think of gambling, despite spending days without the game. Therapy for addicts in gambling only works best in discussing things out and honest responses from the addicted player. Which could help in redirecting his motives on gambling to another channel where he could find out a better livelihood other than excessive gambling.

A gambling addict has the same therapy as a drug addict because they have a similar issues that involves the mind so they would need to be well guided which also involves questioning and answering but in the case of recovering fast I think a gambling addict has more higher chance of healing fast than a drug addict because when a person is so addicted on drugs they tend to rely so much on it to the extent at which if there is no drugs they could not survive, so actually in drug addict is more of a critical condition than a gambler because just like you said there are so many drugs that would be administer to them and it takes a longer time for them to heal.

But in gambling addict, sometimes with an awful experience a gambling addict can even become the therapist themselves because they have gotten to the climax and they will force themselves to stop it but in drugs is very difficult to stop it that way because even if the person decided to stop without a proper handling they will still be forced to continue, so this is why gambling addict is more easier to stop than drug.

So, it's safe to add that not everyone is meant to go for therapy sessions with a professional. A companion, like said above, can be a therapist to a gambler.

Not everyone is meant to go to professional therapist because not everyone is addicted to gambling. But as for some people that are addicted to gambling and known to their relatives, therapy may be advisable and it indicates that they still care and want the person to stop the addiction. There is a big difference between professional therapist and people that are not therapists at all but thinking they can do the work of a therapist.

I've not seen anyone going to or for a therapy session regarding and concerning gambling addictions,but it's going to be a good decision and suggestions after all.According to the post, gambling therapy provides emotional support and practical advice/guidelines to affected by gambling problems.

Meanwhile, I think gambling therapy sessions should be taken by both non victims and victims of gambling.Therapy sessions entirely builds up your mind, actions and your mental health.Gambling is a risks to health and we all know the force of what gambling entails negatively.

Gambling affects so many people in different ways and and this requires several kinds of mind training and stability.One needs to be stable at all costs, sometimes it'll take a long time to find the best approach from therapists to tackle personal/personality problems from the person's in question but it's seems crucial initially.

This type of therapy can help educate you and your loved ones about the disorder and create a more stable environment before and after gambling.

Maybe this type of therapy system exists to get addicts back on track. There are many such drug treatment centers around us where drug addicts are treated. When the family of the drug addict admits the drug addict to the drug treatment center, those in charge of the drug treatment center try to bring him out of the drug addiction through various therapies and different means. A drug addict is as dangerous as a gambling addict. If a person who is addicted to gambling wants to come out of this addiction, then in many cases such therapy is given so that he will not be attracted to gambling later on. There are some families who don't like children or husband gambling and they try in different ways so that their son or husband does not get addicted to gambling and for that they give different pressures in the family which is also like a therapy.

Therapy is basically a special type of treatment to get the gambling addict out of gambling addiction. It helps a person with gambling addiction disorder to get rid of any addiction. However, if family members take advantage of the gambling addict in addition to therapy, the addict can change very quickly. If therapy and rehabilitation and motivation can be carried out simultaneously, then the addict will get better in a short time and will not face bad situations like gambling and drug addiction later.

I agree with that. I think family members, relatives, and friends will have a great impact on how a gambling addict can change quickly. It's not like after the therapist thinks he is okay, he will not go back to gambling. There's a chance a gambler could come back to his bad habit and that means all the sessions with the therapist will go to waste.
I think relatives should still monitor the gambler because that will be the key to full recovery and maybe checking his emails, browsing history, and other kinds of stuff on the internet/computer should also be done.
Unsubscribe with gambling sites that he entered, and make everything clean so that he won't be urged to go back into gambling.

- Honestly, we feel the same, dude. I feel like if I go to therapy, I have a disease. So I don't feel comfortable if I do that in real life, especially if I know myself that I'm not addicted to gambling, but I just do it when I want and I can't do anything; that's it, no other reason.

I don't expect to make any money from gambling because I know that it is difficult to get money from gambling because most of the time the gamblers lose here. And I'm not like other gamblers thinking it is my hope or my source of income, of course not I'm not like them.

If you're actually not addicted and not in denial, then I don't see a reason to attend therapy. There's nothing wrong with going to a therapist; it's actually the second step into solving what's troubling you, with the first one being acknowledging that you have an issue that you're unable to solve by yourself. You shouldn't feel "diseased" for attending a mental health professional; quite the opposite. Therapy might assist us in uncovering hidden trauma and provide a deeper understanding of why we act in a specific way, which also includes why some people become easier victims and fall into gambling addiction compared to others.

Thank you for this, it is similar to my disposition about this thread in my first reply. It's good that we go for therapy, take drugs etc, but the clause to that is that it is only good when we need them. Do you take paracetamol when you are not having a headache and other symptoms the paracetamol is being used for? Of course not. Unless you feel like learning from a therapist about how they do it, I see no good reason for it when you are a responsible gambler. Gambling is not a difficult activity or a compulsory one, and it gets better when you are not even addicted to it, just continue gambling in your little way and try to get the best out of it without taking it too seriously to warrant a therapy.

But the moment any gambler realises that a psychological issue that can't be self-solved is happening, therapy that can quickly solve it is a good call.

Usually it is bad not to gamble responsibly coupled with the behavior involves this shows that one needs to regularly visit the therapist to check if they are still on standard or going worse off their gambling circle. Most times people may not know they are off the track till they had to retrace themselves or maybe like a close relative could see the abnormality in your or in their brother and sister to decides to raise alarm of their behavior. I think we should go for the course for every three months to reduce the rate at which addictions are taking over people especially to those who took it as their only source of income or job suffer this addictions.

In my opinion this doesn't help at all, because when people are starting to develop gambling problems they need to stay away from the internet and away from any games for a while until they can go all day without talking about games and without thinking about games, now when people are already at a very high level of gambling addiction, they are addicted to gambling to be more direct, then these people urgently need medical help in the real world, and when they get medical help in the real world, the Doctors will recommend a complete ban on internet use and not playing anything for a long time, after a long time has passed, then doctors will recommend gradual use of the internet, but with many limitations. This help coming from the internet doesn't help at all

What I ask is whether online gambling therapy is really effective? because I even see when addicted gamblers are in the real world and try to escape from their addiction in the real world by going to a specialist, it's just enough and you have to be that consistent. If not, that's it, it will immediately appear again and be no longer under control.

So that's what makes us sometimes it's better to look for offline gambling therapy that can convince us more to try this therapy and consistently with full support from the family. So, the addicted gambler doesn't feel alone.

I just heard about the topic of online gambling therapy to reduce gambling or stop gambling. I've never seen anything like that before with those results. I see people who are gambling addicts very scary because they can do anything to be able to gamble. In fact, addicts are very aware of the effects of gambling, but they selfishly choose to survive by enjoying the sensation of gambling or on the other hand do not accept the situation because of the money they lose.

When someone getting addicted to gambling, he must go to therapy place to cure his addiction. But the fact is not many people who addicted to gambling realizes that he gets that addiction and will refuse to go to that place and cure his addiction.

Other people can see that he gets the addiction to gambling and suggest him to go to rehabilitation center to get rid of his addiction. If family members can take him to that place, he will have a chance to cure his addiction and he will not go to the offline casino or visit the online casino. But people can check themselves in that therapy place to see if they have the addiction of gambling or they don't have addicted to gambling and can still control himself for playing gambling. Checking ourselves in that place is necessary to knows our condition.

Well, this is actually the first time I hear about it, though. All I know is that we have some psychologists to whom addicted gamblers are being referred. I don't think this gambling therapy is popular among gamblers, and if it is, most people who already think and believe that they are responsible gamblers will not pay much attention to it. If you are bringing this up here for the first time, I doubt (not sure) if any topic like this has been discussed on this board since 2022, when I was aboard.

I honestly like the idea of gambling therapy because, as the name implies, it can help prevent gamblers from becoming addicted if they are always engaging in the therapy education.

I believe that something, if it is free and can help a lot to people who need it, then they should do it, they should take any kind of help, there are people who do not have enough money to go to treatment, well they should take advantage of all this because Basically the things that are for this type of illnesses should be taken without hesitation, for those who seek help because they feel like they are going to fall, well they should do it, well in this order of ideas, as I know that there are many people in the forum who are suffering from it, they should seek this help, they should not hesitate, also I see these types of pages as a blessing, because being addicted is something very regrettable and I hope that all those who are addicted can get out of this condition.

Whatever therapy that's probably applicable to a person who needs it, I believe it won't correct the underlying problems associated with gambling. We need financial literacy to educate about money and finances management, because without that learnings every person won't value money.
This is a very toxic thing about gambling perspectives of an individual who still choose gambling over finances. They always expect that their money will be multiplied twice or thrice depending on how they project a specific odds or probable winning strategy that still has no assurance.

Of course, we need financial literacy, but the problem is that few people understand what it is. If we define financial literacy as a personality trait that allows us to avoid financial problems, then I can say that everyone has such financial problems. I would say that people are generally confused about the nature of risk. People usually know little about risk. There are many misconceptions about risk in finance. People, for example, confuse the risk of an ordinary small loss with dramatic and catastrophic risk. The probability of dramatic and catastrophic risk has a special increasing factor.

That's the main thing, and it's the reason why people don't value money on how important to bring into consideration which gambling was really involved. Most of the time each person who's really a huge gambling patronizer always ignore it, just because of his eagerness to win without considering how risky it was. Small loss would ultimately become bigger since the frequency was increasing, so that would probably affect a person's quality of life as well.

For me I think gambling therapy is not just for only those that are going through gambling problems but I think it will be also good for people that are free from gambling addiction ( I mean even those that have never been addicted before).

Those who are addicted now were one free from addiction and I think if they had visited any gambling therapy I hink they would have known how to avoid been addicted. Gambling therapy is also good for those that are not addicted to get aware and to avoid things that can lead to gambling addiction. Some people who ended up becoming addicted was because they never met anyone who was there counsel them on how to go about gambling.

Read a book of poetry, learn to write poems in the precise rule of an ODa, etc. Having obligations and fulfilling them fully leads to Gambling therapy, e.g..
Also, you can start doing Yoga or practicing other things, if you have doubts about believing that you may be a gambling addict.

I have always mentioned that the best first thing anyone should do is to professionally verify that they are not prone to being an addict, you know, the addict is born and there is no cure, the acquired addiction can be treated.

The best first bet a bettor should make is to pay a gambling conduct specialist, just do it.

I also reason on this if its going to be all gamblers who can afford to consult a therapist for themself because of the charges required for the service, many are still found struggling with the way of making payments for their interest on gambling and they are not being financially stable, how can they still afford to be able to make a consultation on this if necessary, we have to consider the only means by through which the NGOs or gambling sites make a decision for rendering such free services in some applicable areas, which may constitute either on physical or through online platforms for free to gamblers.
