 Presenting on "Plural Recovery: Evidence-Based Relapse Prevention for Couples"

Course Abstract:

Attachment injuries (relationship trauma) cannot typically be worked on effectively during active addiction or during the post-acute-withdrawal phase (often 6 months to 1 year after literal abstinence). Recent advances in neuroscience make this clear.  Even after having establishing a solid foundation in recovery, one of the primary stressors leading to relapse in the recovering addict is relational conflict.  Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples provides an evidence-based treatment approach for healing relationship wounds.  Applied here to longer-term addiction treatment and relapse prevention, EFT provides a roadmap to plural recovery by engaging both the recovering addict and his/her significant other.

 

Course Objectives:

(1) Understand why the addicted brain has limited ability to successfully navigate relationships.

(2) Understand the  process that the addicted  individual’s  significant other undergoes during the 1st year of recovery.

(3) Utilize attachment theory to understand the necessary building blocks of a secure and connected relationship.
