Phase II
Here the client
first, "learns to learn". Then, furthers the earlier communication
skills learned in the "Phase I TR's" and goes through "Objective
Exercises" that bring the person into contact with the present and able to
overcome living in the downfalls of their past or fanciful dreams of the
future. These steps are outlined below:
A.) The Learning Improvement
Course
Addicts and
alcoholics are typically incapable of retaining information and applying that
information to life. This step gives the client awareness to the barriers of
study and a solution in overcoming them, so that they may retain, comprehend
and apply knowledge. During this step we see clients not only become more able,
but also more willing to learn.
B.) The
Communications and Perceptions Course
Reality is
basically falsified to the addict or alcoholic. The addict or alcoholic tends
to fabricate their own reality and when the drugs wear off they feel their
reality has been shattered. To reestablish the facade they must use again and
again, perpetuating the cycle of addiction. During this step we teach the
client to communicate and perceive their environment as it is. The client
learns to be in control of themselves and the environment and helps them to
establish an upgraded sense of responsibility by working on these (TR's) and
"Objective Exercises" with another client in the same phase of the
program.
