My professional life consists of 50% Educational Work, as an Associate Adjunct Professor and 50% Clinical Work as a Psychotherapist in private practice with adults. I have been teaching and practicing for 18 years. I practice, and teach classes at a graduate level as well as workshops in the areas of all the compulsive disorders, alcohol, drugs. eating, gambling, sex).
I had never heard of Rhonda Lenair and her Healing Center until the Spring of 2005. A new patient began psychotherapy with me. Concerned about her almost daily drinking of wine and champagne to pass out and/or black out proportions. She had been doing this for 10 years, prior to that she had been dependent on both drugs and nicotine.
Soon into her treatment, she informed me that she had discovered the Lenair Healing Center on the Internet and was attracted to the short duration of treatment with results producing a loss of craving and desire.
Since in the field and treatment of addiction, nothing is proven, my belief is that everything is potentially useful. Thus, I was intrigued.
My client Paola attended the Lenair Healing Center in June 2005 for several sessions with Ms. Lenair in the hopes of losing the desire to drink alcohol.
I am delighted to report Paola has not bad a drink since then, which is now nine months. She reports no desire to drink and is often in social settings where a good deal of alcohol is consumed by others and these experiences have never stimulated a desire to drink.
I am now including the Lenair method in my graduate school classes and my workshops.
