we all have our own personal programs of recovery we work. we all have the way we live that life in recovery. we all work the steps at different speeds. we sometime say things that people respond to the wrong way. that is why i made amends a couple of blogs ago. i have worked the steps all the way through 7 times and i am back on step one again. life in recovery is a continious circle or cycle what ever you prefer. i can point out my own shortcomings. i don't need some one just because they have a couple of years more than i do telling how shallow my life and program are. normally here is the spot where i would say F$#k you. but instead i wil i do not have all the answers and have never said so. i also have said sometimes i don't even know the questons. but what i do know is i am open minded enough to take suggestions that have worked for somebody else. and see if they will work for me. the bottom line is we are not afraid to reach out for help. sure i have a couple of days back to back 8786 but i am still learning about me. the be reachable we have to stay teachable. for every action we make in recovery there is a reaction. do not be afriad to step out of your normal circle of recovery and recovery friends to learn more about you and the recovery process. you just might find the answers your truly searching for. but please until you really get to know the real me, you know the one who had been using for 22 years and clean for 24years do not pass any judgements on me or about me. i do not have to and will not put up with that crap. seek the truth and engage your crocodile brain before you open your alligator mouth and start shoveling the sh*t in. do you truly think i would blog what i do without having the knowledge of Recovery in my mind and my heart? you better think before you answer that question. do you really think i would talk about recovery the way i do without having the knowledge that has been given to me so freely ready at hand to blog it to you. remember i give suggestions not advice. what you do with it is totally up to you. i do not have or want to even know if there is a cure to this disease we suffer from. i just want to staY CLEAN another 24hrs. remember that recovery is a journey not a destination and use the rest stops God provides along the way. NA hugs, JJ |

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.
My diverse experience has provided me with an understanding of both physical and mental diagnoses, and emotional issues. Your mind and body are woven together to make you a one-of-a-kind human being! To reach personal health & happiness, the key is a healthy connection between mind and body.

My approach to counseling is that each individual has the potential within them to accomplish anything. My job is to help you realize that potential and to make peace with the issues that you face. Notice I never said anything about “getting over” what you have going on, because I believe that there are some things that make that impossible. But, I believe that if you are willing to work with me to achieve your goals, you can achieve the recovery you truly want
My journey to the present day has been unconventional to say the least. I’ve worked in the mental health field since graduating with my Master’s Degree in 2007. I’ve worked with many different populations in many different settings. Most recently I have been working with clients who desired to end their lives, or who were too sick to go about their daily lives. I’ve also supervised others, taught at a college level, and made presentations to other professionals. In the real world, I’ve worked in the medical field, customer service, and I’ve owned my own business. I believe this varied experience allows me to be more emphatic as well as take a more common sense approach to treatment.
I invite you to take a step toward something difficult and do something that is good for you. You always have the opportunity to go back to the way things were; that isn’t challenging in the least.
