He is currently the Program Director of a large and very unique and innovative treatment program developing cutting edge approaches that effectively address this disturbingly difficult problem!
He has held numerous positions through out his career. He was a Crisis Specialist, Interventionist, Court Evaluator and DUI instructor, Medical Social Worker, EAP Director, Consultant, Certified Hypnotherapist, and was in private practice for over 15 years.
He brings a remarkably new view and approach to better manage this daunting and deadly problem. His wealth of experience as well as extraordinary insights and ability to simply confusing and complex concepts by making them so well defined that a client once stated "Jerry makes it so plainly basic that even Ray Charles can clearly see it!
With over 30 years of working in the addictions field he emphasizes that most people with a substance use or abuse disorder generally tend to be Oppositional, Rebellious and Defiant. He has creatively and effectively developed unique concepts he refers to as the essential Eleven Powers and in conjunction with these he has developed methods and techniques to fully implement those Powers through what he has referred to as the Arts.
For the addict and alcoholic who cannot or will not surrender or admit they are powerless; he offers the novel and revolutionary paradoxical approach that involves using "Self Defiance" to develop the ability to "Resist the Resistance" He proves that "Self Defiance is the Key to recovery NOT "Willingness!" --it is through this process that self-esteem and value are fully rebuilt and the person recognizes "I have come “TOO FAR NOW”—to fall back and relapse!"ver menos
