The Soul of Recovery Putting the 12 Steps into Action
Resistance or Relapse?
In twelve-step programs, people heal partly through the telling and sharing of their own stories. It is through the sharing of the trauma and pain and the subsequent healing that people form common bonds that unite them.Then, to get beyond that connection of pain, they need to go further by sharing their soulful moments, their hopes, and their dreams. This requires re-establishing a relationship with their creativity and, through their higher awareness, connecting with others on a spiritual level.This workshopwill begin to teach your counselor how the new seven stage groupactionmodel of Souldrama® can be applied to the process of recovery.
