Life is stressful. Talk Recovery® is devoted to teaching healthy stress regulation strategies in order to successfully cope with life’s situations and adversities. Unsuccessful habits can be harmful. Change requires a commitment to practicing new and successful ways of living – over and over and over and over – until new habits become well-traveled paths. Change takes support and TalkRecovery® is committed to providing the support needed to be successful. Stress Regulation is a critical component of Talk Recovery®. It increases our brain-body health over our lifetime and is important for relapse prevention. Prolonged and sustained stress can cause relapse to harmful habits.
Talk Recovery® provides stress regulation training, support and therapy. The focus is on integrating stress regulation tools into everyday life. TalkRecovery has successfully helped people who are affected by challenging adversities, addictions, relational conflicts, sexual abuse, domestic violence, divorce, work challenges, parenting, family development, grief – the list goes on.
Talk Recovery utilizes a systems approach. Every aspect of a person’s life is important. Each person is biochemically unique and Talk Recovery is individually tailored. Talk Recovery assists people exposed to ACE’s (adverse childhood experiences) and adult aversities using C-SIT – Cognitive Somatic Integration Training®. C-SIT, a name Dr Jody coined to describe her work. The principle foundation of C-SIT focuses on nonduality – the brain-body are not separate. C-SIT combines and incorporates many therapeutic and healing techniques that Dr Jody has studied over her forty-year practice. The brain-body are a team. Neither the brain, nor the body can survive without the other.
Recovery is a complicated process and there is no one path to health and well-being. Dr Jody is committed to supporting people while they learn the value of being flexible and trying new approaches. A key component in recovery/relapse prevention is for individuals to become capable of successfully regulating their stress responses. This helps them regain equilibrium in their brain-body in order to find a ‘gap of calm.’
