Renewing Entire Attitude to Life and Individually Transforming You
For quite some time now, it has been standard practice in the clinical profession to offer
short-term programs for individuals wishing to escape their entrapments. Despite these
efforts, many participants end up returning to the programs, indicating a need for a more
effective approach. This book proposes the REALITY program, which stands for
Renewing Entire Attitude to Life and Individually Transforming You. REALITY focuses
on utilizing communication and various holistic methods to foster lasting change and
healing.
Introduction
REALITY is designed for use in hospital settings, halfway houses, and other facilities. It
emphasizes the importance of communication and holistic healing practices to address the
root causes of addiction and trauma. By integrating traditional and alternative healing
methods, REALITY aims to equip participants with the skills and self-awareness needed
for long-term recovery and transformation.
Objective
The mission of REALITY is to equip each participant with the skills to care for their
psychological and physical well-being. This involves identifying underlying issues,
engaging with these issues through various therapeutic practices, and understanding the
solutions that can lead to long-term healing journey.
Method
The program is divided into three main phases: identification, engagement, and reality
check. Each phase uses communication as the driving force. By breaking down larger
groups into smaller, more intimate groups, REALITY encourages open discussion and
mutual support among participants.
Identification
Phase One: Identifying the Challenge
Identifying the source of the problem is crucial for lasting recovery. Participants are
encouraged to explore the underlying issues that led to their addiction or trauma. Common
sources include family problems, job loss, personal loss, and feelings of inadequacy. By
understanding these root causes, participants can begin to address them effectively.
Engagement
Phase Two: Engaging with the Challenge
In this phase, participants move beyond identifying their problems to actively engaging
with them. Discussions within small groups help participants to propose and explore
solutions together. Key points emphasized during this stage include:
– Stop making excuses
– Come out of denial
– Make a self-inventory
– Enter into accountability
This phase aims to foster a realistic understanding of the world outside the clinical setting
and prepare participants for the challenges they will face.
Reality Check
Phase Three: Facing the Reality
The final phase involves equipping participants with practical skills and realistic
perspectives for their post-program lives. Participants work on reorganizing their priorities
across various domains such as education, job readiness, and personal well-being. They
leave the program with a booklet containing their personal action plans, commitments, and
a guide to long-term recovery and healing journey.
Transformation and Healing
Transformation through healing involves renewing one’s mindset and attitudes towards
life. This section explores how embracing a holistic approach that includes emotional,
spiritual, and physical healing can lead to profound changes. Participants learn to rebuild
self-esteem and self-worth through guided practices and continuous support.
The Role of Music and Vibration in Healing
Music and sound vibrations can significantly impact emotional and physical well-being.
This chapter delves into how different types of music and frequencies can be used to shift
energy and promote healing. Techniques such as binaural beats, chanting, and therapeutic
music sessions are explored.
Integration of Meditation, Astrology, Numerology, Chakras, and Dreams
Holistic practices like meditation, astrology, numerology, chakra balancing, and dream
analysis can provide deeper insights into one’s subconscious and spiritual state. This
chapter provides an overview of these practices and how they can be integrated into the
healing process to enhance self-awareness and personal growth.
Conclusion
REALITY is a comprehensive program that combines traditional and holistic methods to
foster deep, lasting healing. By addressing the root causes of trauma and addiction and
providing practical tools for ongoing support, participants are empowered to transform
their lives. This program emphasizes the importance of communication, self-awareness,
and holistic practices in achieving long-term recovery and personal growth.
