Doing Recovery
Mindful recovery raises your conscious vibration, and empowers you to take charge of anxiety and addiction. You will learn to focus more on what you do want and less on what worries and frustrates you. Remember that the only reason you have resorted to addictive behavior is because you are not getting enough pleasure because you think, feel and act in unproductive ways.
Mindful recovery uses these therapeutic tools:
Existential / Gestalt – Empowers you to take immediate
personal responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and actions.
Jungian Depth Psychology - Explores and opens the healing powers of the
unconscious mind using the technique of active imagination.
Language of Archetypes – Awakens your internal subpersonalities like the
Hero, the Child, the Seeker and the Healer while controlling
the Saboteur, the Victim and the Addict.
Dream Amplification – The unconscious gives messages in the
form of dreams, and these symbolic messages can be deciphered
to gain insight about how to handle challenging life situations.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – The popular logic therapy technique
that corrects distorted beliefs about yourself, other people and life in
general, so you think more rationally, less impulsively.
Paradoxical Intention - A behavioral mechanism that enables you
to think and do those things you usually fear.
Life Narrative – A motivating 6-step process that reveals unfulfilled
yearnings, unconscious burdens, unlocks buried talents and writes
a script for turning daydreams into real opportunities in your
second half of life.
Vipassana Practice - This classic mindfulness meditation lowers
anxiety and the emotional reactivity that fuels addictive behavior
and resistance to the aging process.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) – Self-administered
acupressure or “tapping” to clear nerve energy and remove
anxiety symptoms.
