TREATMENT FOR DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE:

When seeking drug or alcohol treatment, research supports the fact that engaging in a program of detoxification is by itself rarely sufficient to achieve the level of sustained recovery necessary for a return to full health and vitality in daily life. The addict’s task is daunting – rewire the brain to no longer crave the addictive substance, rewire the emotions to automatically turn to other coping skills in stressful moments, rewire relationships to express and invite trust. 

"It is through healing our inner child, by grieving the wounds that we have suffered, that we can change our behavior patterns and clear our emotional process. We can release the grief with its pent-up rage, shame, terror, and pain from feeling those places which exist within us."

"Because of our broken hearts, our emotional wounds, and our scrambled minds, our subconscious programming, what the disease of co-dependence causes us to do, is abandon ourselves. It causes the abandonment of self, the abandonment of our own inner child - and that inner child is the gateway to our channel to the Higher Self. 

The one who betrayed us, abandoned- and abused us the most was ourselves. That is how the emotional defense system, that is co-dependence, works. The battle cry of co-dependence is "I'll show you - I'll get me."

As an Addiction Counsellor, I work one-on-one with clients in therapeutic settings, determining the causes and triggers of their alcohol or drug abuse. In the Introduction Session I work with the client to determine a treatment plan that will help the client to get clean or remain drug/addiction and/or alcohol free. I include the client’s family, romantic partners, and/or employers to help determine the best behavioral course of action. I use the Inner Child Healing Model, by creating a Path to Freedom, Serenity, Empowerment and Clinical Hypnotherapy. 

My work is firmly grounded on a twelve step recovery principles and emotional energy release/grief process therapy. I specialize in teaching individuals how to empower themselves to have internal boundaries so they can learn to relax and enjoy life in the moment, while healing. It is the unique approach and application of the concept of internal boundaries, coupled with a Loving Spiritual belief system, that make the work so innovative and effective. I have worked with individuals, families, and groups from a wide background.
