ABSTRACT

The way recovering addicts experience their physical process can be a useful focus in therapy. This approach is a continuation of the self-modulation model based on the holistic belief that body is self. We are constantly modulating our experience through our body process. As I have described, there are patterns of modulation more common to addicts, such as desensitization and overstimulation. In this chapter, I offer some body-oriented interventions in working with these issues.
