Because of this, we feel that rules should exist to help teach values, and that consequences should directly relate to the rule. The following exercises are designed to help your family create rules and consequences that correspond to your family values.<\/p>\n Step 1:<\/strong> Step 2:<\/strong> The goal of this exercise is to help you understand the connection between family values and rules. Rules should exist to teach values. Make changes to these two lists as necessary so that your Family Rules are based on your Family Values. We have included the Value Based Rules Worksheet to help you. The worksheet should include each of your family values, and at least one rule or tradition to teach each value.<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong> The Four Positive Consequences:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Four Negative Consequences:<\/strong><\/p>\n Old habits die hard. Especially in emotionally difficult times, it is easy to resort to reacting in old ways that are comfortable for us. It would be impossibly ideal to think that after we left New Haven\/Sunrise, we would be perfect and never relapse into old behaviors. It is important to remember that even if we do slip into an old behavior or pattern, all is not lost. Relapse is a part of recovery<\/a> and helps us understand how and why we need to continue progressing. When addressed effectively, relapse can be a great learning experience and open doors to greater understanding. <\/p>\n We’ve created this Relapse Prevention Plan to help your family remember how far you’ve come, how you did it, how to keep progressing, and how to get back on track when you slip.<\/p>\n In family therapy review the progress each family member has made. The more specific you are, the more concrete your plan will be.<\/p>\n Triggers come in the form of People, Places, Thoughts, and Emotions. Being aware of triggers is vital to the prevention of relapse.<\/p>\n\t Each member of the family should identify high-risk People that might commonly act as triggers for relapse.<\/strong><\/p>\n List the People you are most worried about, who may trigger you. For each Person list three things you can utilize to help you deal with that Person in healthy ways. Use a separate sheet of paper if you need more space.<\/p>\n\t Each family member should identify high-risk Places that might <\/strong>commonly act as triggers for relapse.<\/strong><\/p>\n List the Places you are most worried about, which may trigger you. For each Place list three things you can utilize to help you deal with that Place in healthy ways. Use a separate sheet of paper if you need more space.<\/p>\n\t Each family member should identify high-risk Thoughts that might <\/strong>commonly act as triggers for relapse.<\/strong><\/p>\n List the Thoughts you are most worried about, which may trigger you. For each Thought list three things you can utilize to help you deal with that Thought in healthy ways. Use a separate sheet of paper if you need more space.<\/p>\n\t Each family member should identify high-risk Emotions that might <\/strong>commonly act as triggers for relapse.<\/strong><\/p>\n List the Emotions you are most worried about, which may trigger you. For each Emotion list three things you can utilize to help you deal with that Emotion in healthy ways. Use a separate sheet of paper if you need more space.<\/p>\n\t Pre-Contemplation<\/strong><\/p>\n In this stage you are starting to Imagine \/ Fantasize \/ Glorify and this typically occurs after a trigger. This stage is typically known as pre-contemplation. List ideas that come into your mind regarding unhealthy behavior. List ways to prevent glorifying or fantasizing about old behavior.<\/p>\n\t Contemplation<\/strong><\/p>\n After you begin to entertain ideas you then move to the stage of Contemplation. Identify common irrational beliefs, cognitive distortions and rationalizations. Identify healthy ways to deal with cognitive distortion.<\/p>\n\t Preparation \/ Determination<\/strong><\/p>\n Once you have begun to contemplate old behaviors this can lead you to the next stage known as Planning \/ Preparation \/ Determination. Each of us have common ways we begin to prepare or plan for relapse. List the ways you Prepare\/Plan for relapse and ways to counteract\/prevent this planning.<\/p>\n\t Action<\/strong><\/p>\n Preparation\/Planning leads to Action. In the Action stage we lapse, beginning to act out our old unhealthy behaviors. Create a list of unhealthy old behaviors and healthy ways to Prevent\/Counteract those Behaviors.<\/p>\n\t Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n Create a Denial Interruption Plan. If we have begun to act out old behaviors we could also begin to maintain those old behaviors. This stage is known as the Maintenance stage. Here again we have a choice, we can continue in our old behavior and begin a downward spiral or we can learn from it.<\/p>\n Create a denial interruption plan. This plan includes people, places, words etc. That will help you realize the relapse that has occurred and what you and other can do to learn from your relapse rather than continue the downward spiral.<\/p>\n\t Warning Signs<\/strong><\/p>\n Often we have warning signs that indicate we are vulnerable for relapse or that we have relapsed. It is essential that you teach yourself and your family how to identify these warning signs. They will act as beacons that can guide you back to a healthy lifestyle. They can also act as ways to help your family and peers know when you are in danger. Identify your relapse warning signs. Identify which ones you have the most difficulty combating. Below is a list of warning signs to help get your thinking process started. Make sure to individualize your warnings signs as you refer to the list.<\/p>\n Each family member should identify their Warning Signs of relapse and <\/strong>three ways to counteract those Warning Signs.<\/strong><\/p>\n List your Warning Signs. For each Warning Sign list three things you can utilize to help you deal with that Warning Sign in healthy ways. Use a separate sheet of paper if you need more space.<\/p>\n\t Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n Ask one family member and two peers to each identify relapse warning signs they see in you. Ask which behaviors they observe and why they feel these are warning signs.<\/p>\n\t It is essential when trying to maintain healthy change that we have a plan. This plan also helps us to prevent relapse.<\/p>\n Create a list of constructive, healthy activities that will allow you to continue to maintain the healthy positive change you have made. Some examples are creating a regular exercise program, regular time with family, etc. This list can be one you draw from on a regular basis that will help you maintain the healthy choices you have already made.<\/p>\n\t Maintenance Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n Here is a list of things that will help your family prevent relapse. Please complete this list with additional things that you and each family member can do to help protect yourselves against relapse.<\/p>\n Write down a detailed plan of what you will do when relapse occurs. Be sure that this plan includes:<\/p>\n Instructions: <\/b>In order to apply for your next phase, each family member, values coach, and therapist(s) must complete their part. Once each section is complete, the form can be turned in with the student’s values binder.<\/p>\n Download the following document to complete the family phase application.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDOWNLOAD | Family Phase Application\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPhase 3: Insight\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPhase 5: Interdependence\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" VALUES BINDERPhase 4: Integrity Phase 3: Insight Phase 5: Interdependence Phase 4: Introduction to Integrity Phase Integrity means wholeness.
