An Alternative, Soul-Based Way to Treat Addictions
My Approach to Addictions
I do not see addiction as a disease.
Nor do I believe that the only way to recover from addiction is by living in fear of relapse for the rest of your life.
By going beyond merely managing the symptoms of addiction, I help you to heal the sources of your addiction and access the wisdom contained within it.
Addictions often manifest when the soul yearns for greater connectedness. With skillful facilitations, addictions can be a powerful gateway to access deeper understanding and awareness of life. My focus is on empowering you to reconnect with your own personal power and rediscover your innate joys in life.
Rooted in tradition
My Stance On The 12-Step Model
My approach contains some fundamental differences to the 12-Step approach. Having said that, I do recognise the supportive power of being part of the 12-Step network, especially in the early stages of freeing from addiction. Therefore, I do advise most of my addiction clients to take advantage of that support, to develop a rounded approach to their recovery process.
Many of my clients, however, choose not to, citing an incompatibility between the values propounded and their own personal values, as well as very often a lack of spiritual awareness in the rooms. I respect these choices.
I feel it is also a matter of personality. Most of my clients are spiritually sensitive, and they value an individualised approach to their process.
