Process Therapy

By Process we mean Talk. We talk things though. The Refuge’s professional counselors and therapists use such tools as empathy, encouragement, humor, challenge, and success stories in our rehab process groups. Our clients discover that they are not alone in struggling and they learn from the wisdom and experience of several others, not only the therapist in a process group.

Our rehab clients experience both giving and receiving acceptance, support, and genuine connection and we facilitate Community-based Healing. We recognize the potential in our clients’ lives for greater authenticity of expression and interaction with the world around them, and encourage the willingness to examine the wounds that isolated them to begin with. Addiction, trauma, and PTSD are too often isolating factors that separate those from their loved ones and disrupt healthy social and professional interaction. Process groups are about making and re-establishing healthy, intimate connections with each other and within ourselves.

The powerful dynamic of addiction and trauma-based process therapy can work miracles – allowing our clients to again feel serenity, freedom, cohesion, and strength from our past experiences. Here at The Refuge, we are guided toward healing by having the courage to explore our past openly, honestly and compassionately.
