Commitment to Change
with Stanton Samenow, Ph.D.

Volume I Errors in Thinking
Interacting with convicted felons in a state correctional facility, Dr. Stanton E. Samenow, Ph.D, skillfully allows these men and women to take center stage and become the heart of this dynamic program. Thinking errors are revealed in vivid and dramatic encounters between inmates. Step by step, the program leads students to practical, concrete ways to become aware of their own thinking and its consequences and day by day, work toward the goal of responsible lives. Three
full-length programs.

Volume II Tactics: Habits That Block Change
Correcting errors in thinking is basic. The other half is the BEHAVIOR that results from these thoughts. Tactics are habitual ways of acting that keep people stuck in destructive lives. Tactics are ways to take control and build walls to shut out those who would help us. They block the most crucial step in change: Looking at ourselves. When clients become aware of Tactics and how they use them, change becomes possible. For staff, the leader's guide provides a fuller understanding of these tactics and opens the way for greater effectiveness. Three full-length programs.

Volume III The Power of Consequences
This volume teaches viewers how to use the Power of Consequences as compelling motivation to stick with the difficult, day-by-day work of changing lifelong patterns. The group looks at the consequences of their past actions and comes to realize that before they acted there was, indeed, a moment of decision. In the end, viewers learn to draw upon mental images of impending consequences when faced with temptation, instead of shutting them out. Such skills are profound, and life-changing, especially for those incarcerated and/or with chemical dependencies. Three full-length programs. Also features Edward Allen Roberts, MA.

Each three-part volume is $995 and includes
the following materials:
Leader's Guide, Client Workbook with worksheets you can copy, and Overhead Transparencies
All volumes available in Spanish.
Available in VHS and DVD.

Anger: Creating New Choices Series

In this powerful, 3 part program, ex-offenders and people in recovery look at the cost of anger and aggression in their own lives - and learn how to create new choices. They discover that destructive actions don't "just happen" in an instant; they grow out of a pattern of thoughts, beliefs and feelings. Along with awareness of body reactions, each of these become valuable early warning signs. Viewers learn an array of effective alternatives and practical skills which make it possible to stop aggression before it's too late; to have the power to do something different. Exploding in anger need not be an automatic response...it is possible to create new choices, and a different kind of life. Features James Beard.

Individual price: $425 Series price: $995
Series price includes Leader's Guide with Overhead Transparencies and Client Workbook with worksheets you can copy

Surviving Recovery Series

Part One Finding Motivation
In recovery, we are asked to do one of the hardest things a human being can be asked to do, in the least capable state possible. People aren't built to walk away from pleasure, so how can one find the motivation to stay clean? Find motivation to change, in those you affect by your use. Use your guilt over hurting others as motivation to change, instead of as an impetus to use.

Part Two Coping with Triggers
Why do many people use drugs and alcohol even when they know better? Because with prolonged and extensive use, our brains become conditioned to use. Many different triggers - people, places and things, can cause a user's brain to crave, or "drool" for drugs. But knowing that that's how the body/brain system works, can save a recovering person from being ambushed by craving when it happens out of the blue.

Part Three Handling Conflict
This section discusses handling conflict with self and others, and helps the group to troubleshoot when they come face to face with it in roleplay. Success in recovery depends on the ability to keep cool when conflicts arise--like when a part of us wants to use, or when someone else pushes our buttons. The group finds that conflict is inevitable, and that knowing this is half the battle.

Series price: $895 Individual price: $350
Series price includes Leader's Guide and Client Workbook with worksheets you can copy
