Programmes

Written work, done one session at a time, with a clinician reading what you write and deciding when the next one opens. There is no timer and no cohort to keep up with.

  • Baseline

    Baseline comes first. You mark one answer to each of a hundred and fifty questions about your mind, feelings, body, money and the people around you, then answer a shorter set on what you have been through and what you believe about treatment and yourself.

  • Therapeutic Autobiography

    Therapeutic Autobiography is the whole account of you and the substance, from the beginning to today, written by you in six chapters and in order. When the last chapter reaches today, you read the whole account aloud, once, to your clinician.

  • BARE™

    BARE is a thirty-session recovery programme for addiction, in four phases: BREAK, ALIGN, RECLAIM and EMPOWER. You map the patterns that drive your addiction, name what you value, build the skills that protect your recovery and compile the Recovery Roadmap you leave with.

  • ANNEAL™

    ANNEAL is five sessions on how your mind works: the first move, the guards that defend the pattern, the rules you wrote young, what the pattern pays and the self-story. Each closes with one page of your case file, which goes with you into FORGE.

  • FORGE™

    FORGE works on the patterns under the addiction: resentment, fear, control, dishonesty and self-centredness. In five stages (FACE, OWN, REPAIR, GROW, EMBED) you name them, become willing to let them go, make amends, build strengths to replace them and carry a daily practice into fellowship.

  • BARE: The Return™

    BARE: The Return is six sessions for the period after a relapse, when you have used again and are deciding what to do next. You end the episode, then build a one-page plan for the situation most likely to take you out.
