The practice of Safe Recovery was developed as an expansion of, and alternative to, traditional twelve step and recovery programs. It utilizes the modality of EFT (also known as tapping) as well as the latest education, research and resources to ensure that feeling safe is the primary focus of recovery from repetitive, compulsive, behaviors. By offering a safe container that is accessible to all, Safe Recovery offers a practice for individuals to slowly and safely come to awareness of unconscious triggers and unhealthy patterns through embodiment and curious compassion.

Join The Safe Recovery Tapping Circle!

The Safe Recovery Practice offers a tapping circle for those in all stages and forms of recovery. Through tapping we become aware of our unconscious patterns that drive unhealthy behaviors and uphold our limiting beliefs. This circle offers a safe container to explore and transform the areas in our lives that continue to hold us back and keep us from our fullest expression of ourselves.

Join us for safe support and self-regulation. Held on the first Wednesday of the month from 6-7pm est.

EFT (TAPPING)

EFT stands for the Emotional Freedom Technique. It has also come to be commonly referred to as “tapping” as the techniques involve a gentle tapping or percussion of the fingertips on the skin. EFT is a form of psychological acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture. EFT is often used to change negative feelings, reduce distressing and/or self-limiting thoughts, to alter repetitive unwanted behaviors and is even effective for working with and resolving traumatic memories. It is also commonly used to create positive emotional states, achieve desired goals and attain higher states of health, well-being and resilience.

HOLISTIC COACHING

Coaching emerged as a way to provide support for individuals moving through a change process toward greater effectiveness and fulfillment. The holistic coaching practice incorporates the whole person and assists to break through limiting beliefs, become aware of their inner wisdom, identify their emotions and understand their needs. From that grounded, centered place of deep awareness people can develop strategies that honor their values. By prioritizing depth of awareness before moving into action we bring our inner and outer worlds into alignment. When we navigate from this centered place life ignites as living material to interact and work with.

PARTS WORK

A psycho-spiritual method of working respectfully in the inner realm. An adaptation of the Internal Family Systems model for coaches, this model acknowledges that we are all composed of many parts, each created out of necessity and each with noble intent. Our Self is our true nature and is awake, wise and loving. By learning to recognize our parts, we develop an embodied sense of Self that can compassionately hold our emotions and our younger vulnerabilities. As we facilitate a relationship between our Self and our parts, our system harmonizes and we are able to step into living a compassionate life of Self leadership.
