SUMMARY:Embodying Recovery: Exploring a Roadmap for Thriving
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nSaturday June 13-Sunday June 14\, 2026 \nAt Boughton Place – 150 Kisor Road\, Highland\, NY 12528 \n  \nMost of the attention given to treating Substance Use Disorder focuses on getting people clean and sober.  This is a good start.  But what if you could help your clients move from white knuckling sobriety to living a life of fulfillment\, purpose and meaning without substances?  In order to do this\, you need to understand the Stages of Recovery Model*.  The Stages of Recovery model lays out a roadmap of the recovery process that starts at stabilization in which people get into recovery for real and goes through fulfillment in which people achieve a life where they live in gratitude\, acceptance and serenity.  While proficiency in the Stages of Recovery model is a requirement for peer support certification in several states\, most peer support professionals only grasp the model at a surface level and few people outside of the peer support professional community have even heard of the model. \nDeveloped by J.L. Moreno\, Psychodrama\, Sociometry and Sociodrama provide a way to get beneath surface level understanding and actually experience the Stages of Recovery at an embodied level. \nWhat are Psychodrama\, Sociometry and Sociodrama?  Psychodrama is an experiential\, action method in which participants use role playing to explore personal issues\, relationship dynamics and the effect of behavior patterns in action.   Sociometry provides a way to measure and map relationships in a group and allows group leaders to create cohesive groups in which participants are able to connect with other group members and feel safe enough to share.  Sociodrama is an action based method that uses role playing to help participants to explore social roles. \nWhy attend “Embodying Recovery-A Roadmap for Thriving?” During this two-day workshop\, counselors\, therapists\, substance abuse treatment professionals and peers\, trainers and facilitators  will have the opportunity to step into the recovery journey\, explore new perspectives\, rehearse new personal and professional roles\, and experience the stages of recovery at an embodied\, felt level. \n*This model was developed by Kathleen O’Connell (https://www.amazon.com/Bruised-Life-Lifes-Wounds-Gifts/dp/0925190322) and was expanded by Phil Valentine (https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillip-valentine-rcp-272409b/)  at CCAR (https://ccar.us/).   An illustrative graphic of the model was later added by Ruth Riddick (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthriddick/). \n  \n  \n
