Learn how you use denial to continue your addictive process and begin to understand your addictive cycle. Begin to build your recovery plan and outline a relapse process. Create your recovery toolkit and understand what sexual sobriety is for you. Finally learn to build your support network, the most needed part of the recovery process. You will learn tools and strategies to help reach out to others and build the support network you need.


Workshop Part 2 (Understanding Your Addiction, Arousal Template and Trauma)

It is educational and therapeutic. They are designed in a way to help you understand and have the time to absorb the material. It is also designed to fit into your schedule.

These workshops are based on the work of Dr. Patrick Carnes, combining both educational and experiential approaches, to provide healing from addictions and a strong roadmap towards recovery. We use the Task Centered approach that sets you up for success.

These workshops formats are ideal if you are new to the recovery process or if you are having a hard time maintaining sobriety. It is also tremendously helpful to have other group members go through the process with you. You will feel supported and understood in ways many people have never experienced.

Change is possible and we will help guide you toward the right path.
