FACING THE SHADOW WEEKEND INTENSIVE WORKSHOP

SEX ADDICTION COUNSELORS IN LONG BEACH

Save Time & Jump Start Your Recovery

A Weekend Intensive Sex Addiction Treatment Workshop

Facing the Shadow is a six-day intensive workshop designed for individuals struggling with sexual compulsivity and addiction. It is held over two weekends to minimize its effect on work and family. You will gain insight, education about your addictive process, tools to overcome it, experience group therapy and set your steady road to recovery. Completing this workshop builds relationship trust because they know you are serious about getting better.  Space is limited to 6 participants in this intimate workshop.

Facing The Shadow was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it started my recovery out on the right track. Without this workshop, I’m not sure where I would be. It has been the best gift I have given myself, my marriage, and my family. Thank you for doing this work

    • Understand your own cycle of addiction so you can change it.
    • Create a solid recovery plan so you can continue healing.
    • Learn how to set up an accountability network for yourself.
    • Begin to understand the underlying reasons powering your addictive process.
    • Build your relapse plan and a fire-drill plan.
    • Begin to use mindfulness to tolerate your uncomfortable emotions that drive your addict self.

And much more

Making promises to ourselves does not work. Telling the truth does. Healing starts the moment we understand this ultimate reality.
Dr. Patrick CarnesAuthor of Out The Shadows & The Facing The Shadow Workbook

Workshop Part 1 (Education, Sobriety Plan and Relapse Prevention)

Learn how you use denial to continue your addictive process and begin to understand your addictive cycle. Begin to build your recovery plan and outline a relapse process. Create your recovery toolkit and understand what sexual sobriety is for you. Finally learn to build your support network, the most needed part of the recovery process. You will learn tools and strategies to help reach out to others and build the support network you need.

Workshop Part 2 (Understanding Your Addiction, Arousal Template, and Trauma)

Begin to understand your type of acting out behavior and outline your arousal template to understand the deeper causes of your addictive cycle. This is a difficult task but is essential if you want long-term recovery.

Remember recovery cannot be done alone.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Novus’s Facing the Shadow Intensive Workshop:

  • consists of two 3-day intensive workshops designed to follow each other. It will help you understand your addictive cycle and how you can begin to change. It is educational and therapeutic and is designed in a way to help you understand and have the time to absorb the material.
  • are based on the workbook authored by Dr. Patrick Carnes, combining both educational and experiential approaches, to provide healing from addictions and a strong roadmap towards recovery. We use a Task-CenteredCentered approach that sets you up for success.
  • is ideal if you are new to the recovery process or if you are having a hard time maintaining sobriety. It is also tremendously helpful to have other group members go through the process with you. You will feel supported and understood in ways many people have never experienced.
