Professional Guidance – July 2017 Dream Journal

Dream Journal Volume XLXI / July 2017 Note From Dr B. People aren’t expected to recover from a life-threatening illness without care and we use the dimension of professional guidance to represent how we help an individual do the things that are necessary to recover. That professional guidance during the first phase might be helping them to get up in the morning to re-establish their circadian rhythms. Later on, it’s an individual therapy where they can delve deeply into emotional hurts that they’ve experienced about their life and share them with another person, sometimes for the first time in their lives, …

Dream Journal Volume XLX / June 2017 Note From Dr B.

Many individuals find that returning to work after rehab is a major challenge. For some, it’s because returning to their previous place of employment makes them feel stressed or triggered to use drugs again. For others, it’s because of a long period of unemployment, which makes getting hired more difficult. Some have a poor employment history (no work or working under the influence), and for others, legal issues hold them back. Whatever the reason, it’s a good idea for people finishing addiction recovery to leave much of the past behind and make a fresh start. Many people try living life …

Abstinence – May 2017 Dream Journal

Dream Journal Volume XLIX / May 2017 Note From Dr B. Abstinence is critical for recovery. The individual who’s been using alcohol or drugs or other devices has to stop and return the body to as near-as-makes-no-difference-to-normal state in order to start the process of recovery. However, just taking the drugs out of your system doesn’t give you recovery; it gives you an opportunity to step back and then put together a life that one can lead in recovery. This dimension is very critical and it can be done in a way where the individual goes through detoxification or maybe on …
