If you seem to have lost your way in the many trials of life and are secretly wondering what's the way forward? Then you need to find a way to stop and take stock. This is the typical place of therapy... I mean psychotherapy. It can make all the difference, as you'll have a 'sacred' place where you can say whatever you need to say without judgment or condemnation. Therapy provides a psychologically safe space for clients.
However, the person seeking recovery has a few problems s/he needs to face:
Problem # 1. Most therapists have never truly specialized in addiction treatment!
Problem # 2. Therapy is usually a weekly meeting for only one hour.
Problem # 3. Any really good therapist has a waiting list! Sure, it's worth the wait if you can afford to! But, if your addictions are at a critical stage then you need immediate professional help.
Problem # 4. With addictions come serious moral and spiritual issues... this is not the proper remit of therapy... a highly experienced spiritual adviser is needed.
There seems to be few solutions to this dilemma. So, that's why I offer intensive therapy retreats!
This has come from 20 years experience directing clinics/rehabs, and 14 years spent as a Monk ans spiritual adviser.
Lately the actor and Oscar nominee/BAFTA winner Mickey Rourke spoke on T.V. of his need for both a psychotherapist and priest for his healing process... the result is there for all the world to see!
Please blog/call or email me if you need any advice.
Based in the Fraser Valley, near Vancouver... serving all Northern territories and the provinces of Canada and the rest of the world!
