Have you every asked yourself, what can I expect from individual counseling? Well, at Unchained Recovery your individual counseling is tailored to meet your specific needs. Regardless if you have been betrayed by a loved or you are stuck in the shame of your behaviors, we can help. We refuse to treat everyone as though their stories are the same. Your pain is unique and the path to your healing should be too!
In order to get acquainted with your story and design a path forward that will guide you toward healing, we begin each client with a series of assessments. These not only allow us to pinpoint where to begin, focus and press into healing, but they save time. It would take 3-6 months of sessions to gather the level of information revealed by them. So not only do they save time, but they save you money!
One of the assessments measures how you react to loved and your world as well as how you view yourself. Another will specifically look into how you deal with stress. We are one nation under stress, and stress has a major impact on the health of everyone. So, in this assessment we will see how you process your stress whether its productive and problematic. For those struggling with unwanted sexual behaviors, we will review what behaviors you’re struggling with and how they have escalated or changed over time. It will also evaluate your readiness for change. For those who have been betrayed, we determine the areas of betrayal and the level of gaslighting and denial you have experienced. It reveals the threat for abuse whether physical, emotional, or verbal. This informs our approach to guide you toward healing and develop safety in your life.
These assessments along with hearing your story firsthand inform and guide us as we tailor our approach to your individual healing. The assessments illuminate the places of pain and trauma that require attention and arm us to hit the ground running. Once complete We create a path forward for you that will involve task-based work. That means there will be reading and work to be completed between sessions. Rather than simply talking and expecting change to happen, we work with you to discover for yourself God’s truth for your life. With materials selected for your healing in mind, we guide you to the healing place God has designed just for you.
We use a wide variety of materials to help our clients ranging from biblically focused to the scientific community inspired. We recognize many have experience profound healing within the church and its body, while others have experienced pain and religious abuse under the banner of religion. So, we chose a deliberately sensitive approach to what tools we use with every client. We are always seeking to be better attuned to you throughout your counseling and welcome your opinions, questions, thoughts, and concerns.
Healing from sexual addiction, unwanted sexual behaviors, and the trauma they create is a three-to-five-year process. This does not mean that you will need to be in counseling for that long or have to wait multiple years to see good things change in your life. Unfortunately, trauma and addiction require consistent healing work over time in order to achieve lasting change. But regardless of how long your journey takes you, we will be here to support you through it.
