Personal Geometry for Addiction Recovery
A Method to Discover a Client’s Unique Pathway From Addiction to Recovery
In my many years of working in various Los Angeles rehab clinics for sex, drug, and alcohol addiction, I developed Personal Geometry™ to rise to the challenges of working with addicts in dissociated and traumatized states.
I was able to help clients go directly to the underlying issue/s that their addictions were trying to remedy. These underlying issues often elude therapists and clients – years of talk therapy may not identify or resolve them, thus the notorious “revolving door” of conventional and even “alternative” rehab.
By using the universal power of spatial relationships (externalizing the subconscious knowing embedded in the body) this work can facilitate revelation after revelation - not just to the psyche, but the body-being where deep change can integrate and endure.
With Personal Geometry, healing happens and sobriety is far more likely to stay successful.
One of my favorite things about this work is that it gives clients a bird’s eye view of the family system within which the addiction has felt needed. And with compassionate objectivity, Personal Geometry de-stigmatizes addiction thereby helping “addicts” retrieve, and hold strong to, their dignity and their truer identity.
This class is perfect for practitioners who want to have powerful impact working in recovery and who have been looking for a radically effective method to do so.
In this four-week class, we will build on and apply The Foundations of Personal Geometry to:
Explore how addictions function for addicts
The role of many addicts is “the designated family fuck-up” – understand these dynamics, and help clients find their agency to be otherwise
Help addicts recognize what their actual needs were then, and are now
Identify what needs to happen in order for clients to get those needs met (discover the individual pathway from addiction to recovery!)
Help addicts find healthier resources for getting their actual needs met
Facilitate the reclaiming of your client’s true identity; help them understand their goodness without bypassing accountability for their actions
PRACTICE FACILITATING with my feedback, guidance, and encouragement
