LASTING CHANGE IN RECOVERY
CLASSES 1 - 4

Is your recovery stuck or stagnant?
Are you making the kind of progress you hoped for?
Do you want more ease, peace, and depth in your recovery and life?

You've been working on your healing for months or years and still...

You get triggered too much…
Or life situations overwhelm you too much…
Or your inner critic drags you down more than you feel it should…
Or you find yourself relapsing into your addiction when you feel it should be over by now…

In recovery, one of the most important things to understand is that the quality of your relationship with your own emotions is the biggest determiner of the quality of your recovery.

When you learn how to be a loving adult to all your experiences, your healing will become deeper and more reliable.

When you get “bigger” than what’s bothering you, positive shifts happen and you’ll build your recovery and your life on stable ground.

But you can’t just will yourself into this kind of relationship. It takes work and courage. With proven skills, a supportive community, and a willingness to make the effort, YOU WILL heal. You will find the wellbeing, ease, peace, and abstinence you’ve been longing for.
