Although one person's addiction almost inevitably affects his or her family members, a surprising number of treatment models appear to operate under the assumption that an individual's addiction occurs in a vacuum. By not paying sufficient attention to preexisting family dynamics-whether dysfunctional, supportive, or somewhere in between-counselors run the risk of not fully understanding the roots of an individual's addictions or the obstacles to his recovery; as a result, counselors may undermine their own treatment efforts both by neglecting any underlying family problems and by failing to capitalize upon a family's potential assistance in an intervention with the addicted individual. In C...
The beach has always been a safe place for me where the concerns of life all but disappear. One late afternoon I was walking directly into the sun. I barely noticed its final descent toward the horizon. As I glanced back, I caught my shadow. It seemed so big; my heart was imprisoned by an imperfect replica, an emotional stalkerseen only as I turned away from the suns radiance. It was then I realized when I walk facing the Light I will see no shadow. Only a life lived out from the shadow will experience the grandeur of God; the Accusers maligning voice will be stilled. That day I came to grasp that the shadow of a persons past is not how God sees any of His children. Dr. Effler writes with cl...
According to a Yoruba adage, "gbogbo alangba lo danu dele, a ko mo eyi ti in unrun" (all lizards have their stomachs on the ground, one does not know which one suffers stomach ache). You have no idea of what someone is going through or what is going on in someone's life until the person begins to share. But how will the person share if there is no one to listen? How will there be someone to listen if no one is present or approachable? How will someone be approachable if one is not available? This whole concept of CBC is a kind of an outreach where instead of the clients looking for counselors or therapist, it is the mental health counselors, pastoral counselors, addiction counselors, or pastoral worker reaching out to those who may be in need of help but not seeking it. Using the Cab or Taxi as a Therapeutic Setting, The Helper wears the dual role of the Driver and a Counselor engaging in Cab Brief Counseling which begins and ends with the ride.
