Philosophy

 

We believe people physically hold the effects of their stress in their bodies, and no amount of talking about the past releases those emotional blocks. The armor used for defense is developed in childhood, and surfaces in adulthood in the form of psychological and emotional symptoms and the lack of emotional sobriety.

 

Phase Two Personal Growth...

  • Expresses the unexpressed feelings that need to be addressed
  • Symbolically meets the client's unmet needs
  • Changes faulty life scripts from the past and family-of-origin programming
  • Provides emotional re-education
  • Teaches ego-state management via self-parenting and transactional analysis. It is an excellent program for boundary development.

Phase Two Personal Growth is not designed for those with the following behaviors or conditions...

  • Engaged in active addiction
  • Pregnant
  • Psychiatrically unstable
  • Current psychotic and/or manic episodes
  • Borderline personality disorder

*An assessment is required to determine candidates for the program. Program sites are selected around the South and are peaceful, serene, and safe environments for the weekend.

"I have known Duke Ridolphi for more than 15 years and can not think of a better person to be in the people-helping business. Duke is a skilled and talented therapist who brings an excellent balance of mind and heart to his work. I would refer a family member to him without the slightest hesitation."
