My Approach to Helping
What is Integral Recovery for Addictions?
As human beings, we are creatures of habit. This can be a good thing. Good habits provide stability, consistency, and the stamina to achieve certain goals.
But too often, habits become addictions. Our behaviors no longer serve us, and we get locked into a destructive pattern that harms ourselves and others. We are stuck, enslaved in chains of our own making, stifled from finding our true selves, from achieving our innate potentials, and manifesting our gifts to the world.
Integral Recovery is much more than just the abstinence or reduction of addictive behaviors. In Re-covery, we Un-cover and Dis-cover who we really are in all our dimensions, and when freed from the unhealthy habits, we start to grow again.
For almost 25 years, I have had success with people who have a variety of addictions, from the kinds that misuse chemicals from the outside (drugs and alcohol) to the ones that stem from the chemicals already inside the brain (sex and love addiction, abandonment patterns, sexual compulsions, gambling, internet, work, etc.). I have a passion for Recovery and love seeing the light in people's eyes brighten as they leave destructive patterns behind and embrace an enriching and fulfilling life that has always been theirs.
We may also traverse issues of anxiety, depression, and experiences of trauma as a natural part of healing from addiction. We unhook from parts of the past and addictive pain tapes that also prevent us from moving forward and being happy in our present and our future.
We can work from abstinence-based or harm reductionist strategies, depending upon your aim.
I am a South Bronx native who has collaborated with a diverse range of people without shame or judgement, from teens to elders, traditional to alternative sexualities, socio-economic levels "from jail to Yale," spiritualities, and many cultures and sub-cultures.
It would be an honor to connect with you and make your new life a reality.
