SOBRIETY ACTION PLANS
At Odegard Counseling, we recognize that sobriety is not one-size-fits-all.
Our mission is to help people who are considering making changes to their alcohol or other substance use through individualized substance abuse planning.
Substance abuse planning includes identifying and setting goals, developing a relapse prevention plan, identifying the cycle of use, and identifying parts of self that are lost in addiction.
bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder is a common underlying cause of substance abuse that many people unknowingly live with for years. Some signs of bipolar disorder include mood swings that seem to be more extreme than other people’s, difficulty with sleep or keeping a consistent schedule, using drugs or alcohol to cope with mood changes, and intermittent periods of self-destructive habits.
Treatment of bipolar disorder is dependent on a proper diagnosis, which can be challenging. Fortunately, Elisha specializes in both the assessment and treatment of bipolar disorder. Proper screening and diagnosis of bipolar disorder are an important step to increase stability, consistency, sobriety, and life satisfaction.
inner child therapy
Inner Child work is rooted in the belief that early childhood and teenage experiences can create internal wounds that shape our behaviors into adulthood.
Inner Child therapy includes simple drawing, imagery, and writing in order to heal vulnerable parts of ourselves. This helps build new connections in the brain that heal and resolve trauma and emotional injuries.
NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION
Founder and primary therapist, Elisha Odegard utilizes nervous system regulation based on the polyvagal theory.
What are nervous system regulation and polyvagal theory?
Polyvagal therapy bridges neuroscience and psychology. By focusing on the body’s physical and chemical response to stress, polyvagal therapy works to map the body's stress patterns to identify underlying causes of addictive or self-destructive behaviors. This pattern recognition helps us to better understand and regulate our nervous system. It improves the mind-body connection to help clients tap into their natural intuition and look to the body for information and help.
Elisha provides a unique combination of nervous system regulation and inner child work in her practice and has success treating those struggling with substance and alcohol misuse with these methods as well.
