Addiction has classically been defined as a disease and compulsive behavior that interferes with daily living. Thus, “addicts” must remain hyper-vigilant against the ever-present enemy of addiction. And how does COVID impact these challenges considering isolation and chronic anxiety?
What if there was a different lens to look through? What if we reframed addiction as sacred protection from deeper pain that could be healed and transformed with curiosity and compassion? What if loving our inner addicted parts was the key to liberating them?
In our work supporting mental health, social service,
and spiritual care providers, ICNY is proud to partner with the The Psychotherapy & Spirituality Institute, a nonprofit, interfaith, interdisciplinary psychotherapy practice, offering services that treat mind and spirit as one.
We hope you can join us at PSI’s online conference Friday, September 25, 10:00 am – 5:30 pm ET, featuring Dr. Dick Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic model that combines systems thinking with the view that the mind is composed of discrete yet intertwined sub-personalities or “parts” with their own viewpoint and purpose. Schwartz will present in the morning, followed by PSI staff-led experiential exercises and discussion in the afternoon.
Early bird pricing available through August 15.
