We recognize the interconnectedness of the mind and body. We acknowledge that emotional issues and traumas are not only experienced mentally but can also manifest physically. By addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of addiction, we can achieve a more comprehensive healing process.
Trauma-Informed Approach
Many individuals struggling with addiction have experienced trauma in their lives. Our trauma-informed techniques allow you to process and release trauma that might be stored in your body. Trauma can often be a root cause of addiction and addressing it directly can lead to more effective and lasting recovery.
Emotional Regulation
Addiction is often linked to difficulties in emotional regulation. We help you become more aware of your emotions as they manifest in your body. By learning to recognize bodily sensations associated with different emotions, you can develop healthier coping mechanisms and reduce reliance on substances to numb or escape from difficult feelings.
Stress Reduction
Stress is a significant trigger for addictive behaviors. Our techniques such as mindfulness, breathwork, and relaxation exercises can help you manage stress more effectively. Learning to stay present in the moment and relax the body can reduce the impulse to turn to substances in times of stress.
Body-Centered Healing
Engaging in body-centered activities like yoga or Tai Chi while undergoing our program can promote physical well-being and enhance self-awareness. These practices not only provide physical exercise but also encourage a sense of mindfulness and self-compassion. Physical activity has been shown to stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural mood lifters and stress relievers.
Holistic Healing
Our therapy approaches contribute to a holistic approach to addiction treatment. By addressing the physical and emotional aspects of addiction, you are more likely to experience a profound transformation. Holistic healing acknowledges that addiction affects various aspects of your life, including their relationships, lifestyle, and overall well-being. By treating you as a whole person, recovery becomes more comprehensive and sustainable.
Empowerment
Our therapy empowers individuals to take an active role in their healing process. By learning techniques to manage your physical and emotional states, you gain a sense of control and self-efficacy. Feeling empowered can increase motivation and resilience in the face of challenges during your recovery journey.
Body-Centered Techniques
We invite and involve various body-centered techniques such as yoga, Tai Chi, massage, or dance therapy into your routines as needed. These activities promote physical well-being, relaxation, and self-awareness. Engaging in these practices helps you release tension, reduce stress, and improve overall emotional regulation.
Assessment feedback
Using assessments helps us all monitor physiological functions (such as tolerance and capacity stressors) while providing real-time feedback. Knowing this information helps you to learn when to regulate your physiological responses, manage stress, and reduce cravings.
