1 The Nature of Relapse and The Art of Relapse Prevention NAADAC Atlanta 2013
2 History of Addiction Pre-1935 Will Power 1. Incarceration [legal] 2. Incarceration [mental] 3. Death [chance or design] Post-1935 Recovery Alcoholics Anonymous Treatment
3 Current Concepts Addiction is a dis-regulation of the midbrain dopamine system the pleasure system due to unmanaged stress resulting in symptoms of decreased functioning, specifically loss of control, craving and persistent drug use despite negative consequences. Dr. Kevin McCauley
4 The New Medical Model: New Hope with The Biology of Belief Perception affects neurological pathways Based on new research, cellular programs/memory for long term change can be rewritten. Bruce Lipton, PhD Cellular Biologist The Biology of Belief 4
5 Future Concepts Morphic Fields and Morphic Resonance Rupert Sheldrake, Lynne McTaggert Our personal field influences our behaviors; the field is influenced by habits repeated by species in general and genetic relationships in particular. Richard Bartlett: Matrix Energetics
6 The Limbic Brain The Mammalian brain Midbrain Ventral Tegmental Area, Hippocampus, Amygdala Processes fear, aggression, and reward perception (pleasure), memory Subconscious emotions Handles basic survival functions 1. Feeding 2. Fighting 3. Fleeing 4. F***ing 6
7 Stress and the Brain Stress creates Cortisol Cortisol diminishes Dopamine Lack of Dopamine=Anhedonia Anhedonia+ = Death
8 In addiction, the drug or behavior is equated with survival at the level of the subconscious The survival hierarchy changes: 1. Drug/Behavior 2. Feeding 3. Fighting 4. Fleeing 5. F***ing 8
9 Road to Addiction Negative Schema Experimentation with drugs and behaviors Huge rush of Dopamine Anadonia is overwhelmed Feels wonderful, perhaps for the first time. Therefore does it again and again. Addiction is a really bad, hard-to-break, habit
10 Tolerance. Withdrawal. Difficulty controlling use. Desire to cut down. Neglecting or postponing activities. Spending significant time or emotional energy. Continuing use despite negative consequences. 10
11 Relapse
12 After experiencing some degree of recovery from active addiction, it is safe to say that no one in their right mind would ever return to their active addiction. However relapse happens all the time! So then, which mind might one be in?
13 Any Negative Mood State can initiate a Craving Reaction HALT Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired RIID Restless, Irritable, Isolated, Discontent BAAD Bored, Anxious, Angry, Depressed
14 3 Types of Trauma Immediate, singular, violent=ptsd (war, rape, disaster, etc.) Repeated Abuse (Bullying, humiliation, shaming, etc.) Continuous re-establishing of Negative Beliefs
15 Perception of Reality Energetic Model Womb to age 6 years old Imaginative state of perception -Theta World view interpretation loosely held Ages 7-9 central nervous system and perceptual lens become hard-wired. Energetic Belief System is created.
16 Cellular Expectation Information is passed through the human reproductive system carrying mammalian, energy-information embeds in the first, single human cell this most powerful belief: I am going to be loved, cared for, cherished and protected unconditionally. The necessary condition for all the brain circuits discussed above is access to a consistently available, emotionally stable, non-stressed nurturing parental care giver. Gabor Mate, MD
17 I expect to be loved unconditionally. I am not getting what I expect. There is no one/nothing to blame. Therefore there must be something wrong with me. (Schema)
18 Three Aspects of Mind 1. Conscious 2. Sub conscious (one million x s plus) 3. Unconscious (sub-set of #2)
19 Cellular Expectation To the degree this hugely-powerful expectation is not met, the individual reacts with a certain biochemical response that defines itself in the body/mind as STRESS
20 Positive Affirmations Tell yourself to think good thoughts continuously. This is the power of positive thinking. Does not work for trauma victims. Pain of trauma buried in the unconscious mind. Subconscious mind one million x s greater than the conscious mind.
21 Perception of Reality Our perception of reality is based upon the amalgamation of all our beliefs whether we are conscious of them or not. These beliefs create the aforementioned lens. Change a belief, the lens changes. And so does our reality!
22 Everything is Energy Energy and Intelligence are Synonymous On the material plane, all energy intelligence exists at different vibrations. There is no separation of this energy; everything is connected! These differences of vibration define things and provide uniqueness.
23 Stuck Energy Free-flowing energy=healthfulness Stuck energy=overload=unconsciousness Relapse
24 Field of Energy Intelligence Scale: 0 to 1,000 (Relative Distinctions) 0=Dead 1,000=Complete Enlightenment David Hawkins Power vs. Force Map of Consciousness
25 Field of Energy Intelligence The positioning of one s Attention [in the field] determines the flavor of one s Perception [of Reality]
26 Field of Energy Intelligence 500 LOVE 310 WILLINGNESS 200 COURAGE 150 ANGER 30 GUILT 20 SHAME
27 Field of Energy Intelligence Effect of Attentive Position in the Field Above 200 = Conscious Awareness Below 200 Unconscious Reaction
28 Field of Energy Intelligence 500 LOVE 350 ACCEPTANCE 310 WILLINGNESS COURAGE ANGER
29 The Cross Enlightenment Love Acceptance Physical biochemical mental Emotional social sexual spiritual Courage Anger Fear Guilt Shame The Field of Energy Intelligence meets its own Aspects of Intelligence
30 Parse the Sentence Even though I feel (anger, fear, etc.); I love & accept myself Noun Verb & Verb Object ?
31 Core Negative Belief It s the same in all of us (to one degree or another) We come to believe there is something wrong with us. Each one of us expresses it differently by what is known as a schema.
32 Schemas No matter how hard I try, I can t get it right. Every time something good happens, something bad is sure to follow. Whenever I make myself vulnerable, I get hurt I am unlovable. I am a failure. I m ugly and my mother dressed me funny as a child.

36 Step 5: Change beliefs at the source with ET Practical Solutions: The Art of Relapse Prevention Step 1: Meditation Creating Awareness Making Changes Step 2: Meditation in Action (listen to the body) Step 3: Acceptance Step 4: Alleviate discomfort with Energy Tools
37 Relapse Statement Relapse (or returning to old behavior) is not about the drinking, the using or the reverting to the old behaviors: It is all and only about consciousness! If one is able to remain conscious during most of the waking hours, there need be no concern about returning to addictive behavior.
