"Are You Your Best Valentine? -- Recovering from the Wrongness of You"
True self love is not a character defect, nor is it grandiosity or self-centeredness. It is the basis of all healthy relationships. Before we can have a truly satisfying, productive, successful and expansive relationship, even with our Higher Power, we must have a relationship with ourselves. This is a foreign concept to most alcoholics and addicts. Even in recovery, people tend to judge themselves so harshly there is little room for the greatness of them to show up. This workshop will explore what a healthy, honest, caring and committed relationship with self looks like while providing some practical exercises and concepts to use with clients.
Presented by Marilyn Bradford, M.Ed., LCSW
Marilyn Bradford received her MSSW with a specialty in addiction from the University of Texas at Austin. After interning at the Menninger Clinic, she ran the adult trauma unit at an Austin psychiatric hospital. There she developed a system of integrating traditional addiction approaches with psychotherapy. Currently in private practice, she recently co-founded Right Recovery for You, which utilizes transformational tools and techniques in working with addictions.
