Re-Pattern Your Relationship to Substances

What does it mean for you to be in right-relationship with substances? 

This is the question that we will explore together and will look different for everyone.

Maybe total abstinence is the what your system needs. Perhaps it’s taking a more mindful approach that allows you to come from a deep intuition and choice instead of impulse or wounding. 

Re-Pattern Your Relationship to Yourself

Often food or substances can be a way of escaping your feelings or over-riding the parts of you that are signaling for attention. 

Coming into deeper connection with yourself and your body can allow you to be in consistent communication with yourself around what you are needing in each moment. 

Learning to love your body, yourself, and your past, is an important part of this healing journey. 

Re-Pattern Your Relationship to Life

What kind of relationship do you want to be in with the world around you? 

Are you a victim of what happens to you, or a student of what is happening for you? 

How do you want to use your gifts and resources to work with the experiences you have been given and create the life that you want? 

I help people to “re-pattern,” or re-program, the core beliefs and resulting thoughts, feelings, and escapism strategies that are no longer working in your life. 

I provide therapy that moves people beyond coping into a whole new way of being. 

Everything is a medicine or a poison depending on how you use it.

This wisdom was imparted to me by the musician and medicine man, Porangui, during a song circle at his music is medicine retreat. I went to him with the intention to “heal my relationship to all substances” during a time in my life when I was deep in my own burnout and all the “healthy” coping strategies didn’t seem to cut it.
