The experiential therapy program at Liberty Bay includes activities, movements, and actions that make up a holistic therapeutic approach. When you participate in experiential therapy, you identify and address psychological issues that trigger your addiction. These same issues may have also led to a mental health disorder.
Addiction therapy services in Portland Maine may use strategies such as props, guided imagery, or even engage in role-playing. All of these techniques help you to identify the problems that are hindering you from stopping your addiction. Our experiential therapy program in Portland Maine can help you get on the road to recovery.
Examples of Experiential Therapy
Like other categories of therapy, experiential can include multiple approaches to achieve the same goal. Some of these approaches may include:
Recreation Therapy
Let’s face it. Addiction can take the fun out of life. It can consume to the point where all you do is fixate on your substance. Recreation therapy pulls you out of that bubble and helps you to enjoy life again without substance abuse. On the surface, recreation therapy seems…well…surface. However, it is highly therapeutic in helping you to restore balance in your life. It can coincide with trauma therapy services to help you get your mind off of the happenings in your past.
Equine Therapy
Like recreation therapy, you may be scratching your head at the idea of working with horses. However, equine therapy is effective in helping you to build relationships on trust and long-term respect. You learn how to accomplish different activities with your horse, which, in turn, can also help you develop skills in the real world.
Art Therapy
Art therapy allows you to express your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a creative (and not destructive) way. Whether you choose music, painting, writing, acting, or any other type of art, you have the opportunity to project how you feel on your chosen ‘canvas.’
Other types of experiential therapy may include wilderness therapy, adventure therapy, or even psychodrama.
Why We Offer an Experiential Therapy Program at Liberty Bay
There are several benefits of experiential therapy, including:
Our treatment specialist can observe and assess your condition outside of traditional one-on-one therapy
Completing specific tasks that are relevant to your particular situation – this can be more effective than just talking
Becoming more likely to let down your guard when you are engaging in activities because they seem less threatening
You can more clearly measure and identify your successes and any obstacles that may keep you from getting clean
Experiential activities improve your self-esteem because you take responsibility for definitive action and accomplish them one step at a time
One of the things that you will notice as you go through the program is how much you change and grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. You will also see a drastic improvement in how you feel physically.
Quite possibly one of the greatest benefits to experiential therapy is how it trains your mind to focus on the present moment to accomplish a task or goal. This can be motivational in helping you achieve sobriety.
