Are you a therapist, mental health or coaching professional and find yourself challenged in supporting your clients in the following areas?:
Creating effective relapse prevention interventions that actually work
Helping sexually compulsive clients maintain long term recovery vs. a roller coaster of slips
Teaching the addict specific mindfulness based tools to support nervous system regulation
Educating the addict and partner in understanding the importance of presence for holistic health
Helping the addict in recovery develop empathy for their wounded partners
Assisting betrayed partners or spouses in reducing trauma responses while validating their pain
Helping betrayed partners increase distress tolerance and lower reactivity
Supporting betrayed partners in understanding how to implement boundaries and consequences skillfully
Assisting the couple to effectively reconnect through mindful compassion with specific methods
Educating couples on a mindful practice of focused safety methods during the repair stage
While cognitive behavioral therapies provide a helpful roadmap at the start of the healing process, the CBT task model is simply not enough for long term healing, relapse prevention, and trauma recovery. The National Institute of Drug Abuse indicates that nearly 40-60% of people in addiction recovery experience relapse. After decades of CBT being the go to method, we now understand that the task methodology on its own is not enough to support long term recovery for those individuals who struggle with a variety of addictions, as well as the loved ones who have been deeply wounded and traumatized.
