LPP Podcast

Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads answer the following frequently asked question: Is LPP a "trauma informed program"?  They offer a definition of “trauma” in several contexts. Then they discuss differences between traumatic events and adverse conditions in life. Peele and Rhoads also consider what it means to be trauma informed versus believing trauma is responsible for addiction.  And, of course, the hosts explain how all of this information applies to their work with clients in the Online Life Process Program.    Visit the Life Process Program website  for free multimedia resources about addiction. If you become interested in the program and want to learn more, you can sign up for a free confidential consultation with a trained LPP coach. 

Rewrite your life story. The Life Process Program takes clients through a staged review of their life stories, focusing first on mistakes, continuing to how they might have acted differently to avoided these pitfalls, to reconceiving their life stories to focus on positives, and finally to projecting their life stories forward into positive, life-fulfilling narratives. In today's episode we incorporate LPP exercises and examples of Zach’s work with children, including sample maps he develops for each child,  to show how to put these steps into action in your own life and the lives of your children and other loved ones. Similarly, examples of coaching feedback to LPP clients (disguised, of course, like Zach’s plans for children) will be presented throughout to illustrate advice in implementing each stage of the re-writing of people’s narratives.
