This class is perfect for people who want to go straight to what is underlying your addiction/s and how to transform them with Personal Geometry – a radically effective method to do so.
In this four-week class, we will apply Personal Geometry® to:
Exploring how addictions function for addicts
Understanding how the systemic role of many addicts is the designated family “fuck-up” and how you can choose otherwise
Helping you recognize what your actual needs were, and are now
Guiding you to find healthier resources for, and the pathways toward, getting your actual needs met
Facilitating the reclamation of your true identity and higher innocence while also taking responsibility for your actions
Mapping your way forward for successful sobriety

P.S. If you are someone grappling with any kind of addiction, this class is a great opportunity to get personal transformative insight. You will be your own focus, delving into your behavior or substance use that feels compulsive (we likely all have at least one:), and benefit from group sharing of these sacred, and celebrated, journeys to sobriety - if you so choose and time allows.
Class Schedule
Class #1: Functions of addiction and how to recognize them. What are they trying to provide?
Class #2: Negotiating with the old to allow the new – and how to do so
Class #3: Anchoring the beauty; finding and accepting healthier resources
Class #4: Mapping your way forward; identifying and receiving resources
All classes will be held via Zoom.

“This has helped me more than anything in my whole life.”

“I have been in recovery from sex and love addiction for four years and seven months. I met with Ali when I was in treatment, when I was less than six weeks sober. She, in a feat of intuition, attunement, and intelligence that is both playful and profound, saw what was good and beautiful in me. She is able to perceive beyond what is being said to what needs to be said. Her gifts as a therapist are like nothing else I’ve experienced. Her work is remarkable and necessary.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Ali while I was attending The Center for Healthy Sex in June of 2019. I had just hit rock bottom with alcoholism, drug and sex addiction. I had never heard of this therapy but it was intriguing and I was particularly open to trying anything to get me out of the darkness. I was incredibly vulnerable during my session, moved to tears for the duration and she guided me through it with compassion and tenderness. The entire session lasted for maybe 20 minutes but the impact will last my lifetime. Certain events that occurred during Ali’s session almost a year ago helped heal a very deep wound that had me bleeding so much shame and fear. I am currently 374 days sober and I have never felt this kind of freedom. There is truth and power in this work. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with Alison and I highly recommend taking the chance if it comes your way.”

ALI’S EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH ADDICTION
In my many years of working in various Los Angeles rehab clinics for sex, drug, and alcohol addiction, I developed Personal Geometry® to rise to the challenges of working with addicts in dissociated and traumatized states.
By working with body maps, I am able to help you go directly to the underlying issue/s that your addictions are trying to remedy. These underlying issues often elude therapists and clients – years of talk therapy may not identify or resolve them, thus the notorious “revolving door” of conventional and even “alternative” rehab.
By using the universal power of spatial relationships (externalizing the subconscious knowing embedded in the body) this work can facilitate revelation after revelation - not just to the psyche, but to the body-being where deep change can integrate and endure. With Personal Geometry®, healing happens and sobriety is far more likely to stay successful.
One of my favorite things about this work is that it gives you a bird’s eye view of the family system within which the addiction has felt needed. With compassionate objectivity, Personal Geometry also de-stigmatizes addiction thereby helping “addicts” retrieve, and hold strong to, dignity and truer identity.
