Sit. Feel. Heal. for Recovery Centers

The Sit. Feel. Heal. Methodology is a transformative approach to mindfulness and emotional resilience tailored to the needs of recovery centers. Designed to support individuals at every stage of their recovery journey, this adaptable program combines mindfulness, emotional awareness, and practical integration to foster healing, growth, and sustainable change.

This trauma-informed framework provides a structured yet flexible path to help clients:

  • Build emotional resilience and reduce reactivity.

  • Develop tools for managing stress, triggers, and emotional waves.

  • Foster a deeper connection to themselves and their recovery journey.

  • Transition mindfulness skills into everyday life for long-term success.

Whether in detox, inpatient, outpatient, or alumni programs, Sit. Feel. Heal. meets clients exactly where they are, offering practical tools that align with their recovery goals.

The Approach

  • Trauma-Informed Approach: Created with sensitivity to the challenges of recovery.

  • Adaptable Structure: Tailored to your facility’s unique needs.

  • Sustainable Practices: Tools clients can use far beyond their time in recovery.

  • The Sit. Feel. Heal. framework is designed to work across various facility types and client needs:

    • Detox/Inpatient Programs: Introduce mindfulness tools for stabilization and grounding.

    • Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): Deepen emotional awareness and resilience.

    • Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP): Focus on long-term integration and habit formation.

    • Alumni Programs: Support ongoing mindfulness practices post-recovery.

    • Weekly Group Sessions: Interactive small-group sessions tailored to client needs.

    • Monthly All-Campus Sessions: A shared mindfulness experience to foster community and connection.

    • Optional Clinician Support: Dedicated sessions for staff to address compassion fatigue and professional resilience.

  • SIT: Stabilization & Presence
    In the early stages of recovery, clients often feel overwhelmed or dysregulated. The Sit phase provides foundational mindfulness tools to help them:

    • Cultivate stillness and awareness.

    • Regulate their nervous systems.

    • Begin building trust in the recovery process.

  • As clients progress, the Feel phase focuses on guiding them to:

    • Explore their emotions with curiosity and compassion.

    • Build emotional resilience and understanding.

    • Develop healthier responses to triggers and challenging emotions.

  • HEAL: Integration & Practical Application
    The final phase bridges the gap between structured recovery and everyday life, empowering clients to:

    • Integrate mindfulness practices into their routines.

    • Manage stress and emotional waves with confidence.

    • Build habits that support long-term recovery and growth.
