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.


Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotionally Focused Therapy helps couples move out of the same painful cycles-the arguing, the shutting down, the distance-and into something steadier and more connected. It is a structured and research-based process with specific steps to help you have the relationship you desire. After EFT, couples often say things like “We’ve never talked like this before,” or “I finally understand what’s happening between us.”

NEUROSCIENCE-INFORMED CARE

Our brains are complex organs that are shaped by our life experiences. We become wired to think, react, and behave in certain ways. Every brain is unique and understanding yours is key to knowing why you do what you do and how to change it. We will talk about the science of YOUR brain and how we can re-wire it so that you get the outcomes you desire.

NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION 

Nervous system regulation bridges neuroscience and psychology. By focusing on the body’s physical responses to our environment, we can map the body's stress patterns to identify underlying causes of addictive or self-destructive behaviors. This pattern recognition improves the mind-body connection to help clients tap into their natural intuition and look to the body for information and help.
