Description

A Workshop for Couples in Recovery

Download a PDF Flyer for this Workshop

Recovery is a time to positively transform all areas of your life (emotional, physical, spiritual, social, etc.), yet few addiction treatment programs include education and therapy on the topic of healthy intimate relationship skills. Thus, many individuals leave treatment without having learned the essential skills to heal the trauma that addiction causes and without the knowledge of how to rebuild the foundation for their most significant relationship.

Having observed too many individuals leave treatment with strong recoveries, but their relationships falling apart or remaining stagnant, Lana Isaacson, LCSW, CAC III decided to pursue advanced training in couples therapy and specifically The Gottman Institute’s “Couples and Addiction Recovery” Training.

Dr. Bob Navarra found that evidenced-based therapy for couples in recovery can help these couples beat the statistics (couples affected by addiction have a 4-7 times higher rate of divorce). In addition, “satisfying family relationships constitute one of the greatest predictors of long-term recovery”.

This is how “Have Each Other’s Backs Again!” was born.

This 8-hour interactive workshop supports couples in recovery to heal, reconnect, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationship by learning and practicing research-based healthy relationship skills. Research shows that a one day intensive workshop can equal 3 months of private couples therapy.

*I have broadened the term “recovery” to couples overcoming mental health conditions (ex. anxiety, depression), lack of knowledge and skills for healthy long-term relationships and other sources of disconnection or breaches of trust due to the overlap that often occurs in such couples and the benefits of this workshop as reported by participants from a variety of “recovery” backgrounds.

Pass down both the GIFTS of recovery and a MODEL for a healthy, loving, secure, and vibrant long-term intimate relationship to future generations.

What People are Saying

COMMUNICATING IN RECOVERY IS CHALLENGING.

“This was my first couples workshop and I really enjoyed it because my partner and I wanted to strengthen our relationship. Communicating in recovery (not being numb) is challenging. The hands-on exercises were very helpful. This was just the beginning. Thank you!”

WE LEARNED HOW TO REBUILD TRUST AND FIND WAYS TO BUILD A STRONGER FOUNDATION AFTER THE DEVASTATION ACTIVE ALCOHOLISM AND PORN ADDICTION HAS CAUSED IN OUR MARRIAGE.

“The couples activities shifted us… When I arrived at the workshop, I was not in the greatest mood having recently felt defeated in my relationship. I hadn’t seen or talked to my husband for a week (since we are currently living separately), so seeing him for the first time felt very raw and emotional. But as the day went on and we were connecting through the exercises, I felt opened up.”

MARRIAGE IS HARD WORK WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE IN RECOVERY.

“This workshop was the beginning of real, constructive communication with my spouse.”

SO MUCH GREAT INFORMATION! LOVE THE PASSION AND DELIVERY….REALLY FELT COMFORTABLE AND THE WARMTH FROM YOU.
