Emotional Sobriety: Beyond Relapse
A 22-hour virtual program — weekend immersion + 4-week integration
The slide to relapse is painful and, if not caught, can be disastrous. The process usually starts with denial…denial that we need to work a program of recovery. We start living in relapse prone thinking and behaviors and move away from recovery-prone thinking and behaviors. Join the SHiFT team as you are guided through world-renowned expert, Terrence Gorski’s Relapse Prevention Program.
Picking up the food is actually the FINAL step in the relapse process. Yes, relapse is a process! It’s a progressive series of events that takes people from a stable recovery through various stages of dysfunction and eventually back to using their addictive foods.
This structured program will lead you into a recovery-centered lifestyle and help you clearly identify your personal patterns of self-defeating thoughts and behaviors…your personal “relapse warning signs.”
