Nurse The Soul’s spiritual outlook is grounded in the belief that transpersonal psychotherapy and the twelve steps are key to working with addiction.
We must work with our inner child and mother her through transpersonal psychotherapy using creative play, visualisation, archetype work, the body, dreams, different planes of consciousness, art and voice. The inner child must be heard, nurtured and soothe through the therapy and given the unconditional that wasn’t received. Uncovering the soul nature is fundamental for break through.
The twelve steps hold the archetype of the father, it teaches boundaries, faith and takes away the isolation. In the program you learn how to trust, share and be held. It is not religious, it is a spiritual path. Some people believe in the Universe, some people in the power of the steps, some in their own understanding of God.
A combination of transpersonal therapy and the steps is important for recovery. Usually one comes first and then the other is found. It is not necessary to start both at once however Nurse The Soul will usually recommend the twelve steps to clients struggling with addiction during the course of the therapy.
