mind
The mind is a powerful tool. It engages our emotional journey, governs our self-awareness, and allows us to create new paths and outcomes for ourselves and our relationships.
The Orpheus program blends a selection of complementary modalities which focus on the mind body connection as a recovery mechanism. The ancient healing powers of yoga and meditation combined with the mental clarity acquired through psychotherapy unravel and release you from the core issues that serve the cycle of addiction.
These tried and tested treatment methods harness the power of the mind to promote the emotional release and inner awareness required to shed destructive barriers, transcend addictive behaviours, and bring about lasting change.
Psychotherapy
The term psychotherapy literally translates to 'heal the soul,' and the proven treatment philosophy engages a range of psychological techniques to identify and resolve deep-seated issues underlying destructive behaviours, and bring about lasting change.Many factors can contribute to the development of destructive behaviours - from early childhood trauma, to family history, to repressed memories, to the physical environment surrounding an individual.
If left unresolved, these inner conflicts become more deeply rooted in the psyche, causing irrational thinking and fuelling destructive patterns of behaviour.
Orpheus psychotherapy is an intensive and revealing process of discovery and a crucial component of your path to personal change designed to bring about profound self-awareness, acceptance and lasting behavioural change.
A dynamic, supportive Orpheus psychotherapist works with you intensively, one-on-one to identify and shift inner conflicts and inhibiting mental thought patterns, and give you a better understanding of the factors that drive your behaviour.
Your privileged relationship with your therapist becomes a vehicle for transformation - your therapist will listen to your experiences, explore connections between your patterns of thinking and your behaviour, and help you understand more about yourself, your relationships and your past actions.
By understanding the reasons behind your behaviour, you can then develop the tools to overcome destructive cycles and master your behaviour for a healthier, happier life.
As a powerful catalyst for insight into the psychological roots of addiction, and an instrumental component of relapse prevention and stress management, frequent psychotherapy sessions are integrated into your treatment program to acquaint you with your inner purpose, instil the motivation for genuine, long-term change, and set you on the path to self-discovery and healing.
Yoga
An ancient physical practice integrating physical and mental wellbeing, yoga is based on the premise that achieving harmony between the mind and body leads to self-realisation and inner peace.Guided stretches and breathing exercises promote flexibility and relax the nervous system, liberating tension, anxiety and accumulated stress, inducing a profound sense of relaxation with endless restorative effects and a heightened sense of self.
The popular healing technique is frequently used in western medicine to enhance health and treat stress. Recognised as a powerful adjunct to recovery treatment, daily one-on-one yoga sessions will introduce you to a daily ritual to practice into the future.
Meditation
Meditation techniques, when used properly, can serve as the most effective and direct path to self-awareness and peace of mind. A passive healing practice dedicated to mastering the art of looking into oneself, and entering an internal state of awareness, meditation promotes relaxation and mental clarity, and reduces tension and anxiety.The ancient practice is known to be effective in reducing the rate of relapse, and regular practice has the potential to achieve long-term resistance to stress.
Guided meditation sessions incorporated into your treatment program alongside yoga and psychotherapy are designed to release mental affliction and bring the mind, body and soul back into perfect balance.
