Individually Tailored Intensives
I offer Tailored Intensives specially arranged for individuals or couples struggling to recover. These Tailored
Couple's Intensives are designed to promote change in lives and relationships where
sexual addiction is a factor. The goal of these intensives is to assist
recovering people to deal more effectively with specific issues. The Intensives are
individually tailored to goals and needs of the people involved.
The
Intensives may be valuable to people relatively new to recovery as well as
those who have been in recovery for a while and who are ready to move forward on
their path of growth and healing. People may want to focus on individual work,
or wish to begin the work of
relationship healing. Some individuals come ready to really immerse
themselves in recovery to kick-start or renew their recovery. Others value
the privacy of individual intensives as compared with group intensives or
workshops. Couples who
have negotiated the initial stages of recovery may be interested in
strengthening previously acquired skills to develop an even healthier
relationship and greater intimacy. All
couples benefit by reducing the anger, fear, and lack of trust because these so
deeply threaten relationship recovery.
Issues may include:
- Rebuilding trust
- Containing destructive behavior
- Addressing barriers to intimacy
- Identifying distorted thinking
- Restoring healthy sexuality
- Overcoming resistance to recovery
- Build mutual empathy and understanding
- Grieving the loss of addiction
- Cope with anger, fear, suspicion, and lies
- Develop near and long-term recovery plan
- Improve communication and problem solving
- Understand principles of healthy disclosure to others
| Step 1: |
Individual Prep Sessions with each person involved.
This requires at least one hour on the telephone for us to assess and plan
the intensive. |
| Step 2: |
Begin the Intensive: Because everyone's needs are
different, the structure of the intensive vary. Intensive range in
duration from two to five days, sometime with more than one hour of meeting
with me a day |
| Step 3: |
Follow Up: I ask that we schedule at least one follow
up session within two weeks of the end of the intensive so that we can
assess progress, make adjustments in programs, and further plan for living
in stable recovery. |
The cost of an Intensive varies based on the number of hours we spend together.
I charge for Intensives hourly at my usual clinical rate of $150 and hour.
For those traveling from outside the
Austin area, rooms and meals are not included. There are many fine
hotels and restaurants near my office.
For further information or to enroll please email or phone 512.928.4357. I
look forward to hearing from you and wish you well on your journey in recovery.
