Holiday gatherings create more than emotional stress—they create physical tension stored in your nervous system, muscles, and fascia. Family-of-origin dynamics can trigger deeply stored patterns that persist long after the event ends.

CranioSacral Therapy gently releases what talk therapy cannot reach.
Using extraordinarily light touch—about the weight of a nickel (5 grams)—CST addresses the craniosacral system: the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord. This gentle technique allows your nervous system to reset between holiday events.

How CST works:
A trained therapist places hands at the base of your skull or sacrum, using barely-there pressure to "listen" to your craniosacral rhythm. As restrictions release, stored tension flows out of your body. You remain fully clothed throughout the session.

Many clients describe feeling lighter, more spacious, and noticeably calmer—even before the next family gathering.

At CenterPointe Recovery, CST is included at no additional cost for all Intensive Outpatient Program clients because we understand that true healing requires addressing the whole person: brain-based + heart-centered + body-informed.

If you're finding the holidays harder than you expected, you're not alone.

Many families affected by substance use disorder feel this same tension between holiday expectations and the reality of recovery.

Here's what you need to know:

Making it through today is enough.

You don't have to be perfect. Your loved one doesn't have to be perfect. Recovery isn't linear, and neither are holidays.

What helps right now:

CranioSacral Therapy isn't a luxury add-on here—it's fundamental to whole-person healing.

Addiction creates physical tension in your nervous system that talk therapy can't reach. That's why every IOP client receives:

✅ 45-60 minute CST sessions
✅ Dual-credentialed therapist (LMHC + LMT)
✅ Private MindSpa environment
✅ Integrated with counseling + neurofeedback
✅ Small groups (8-10 people)

Brain-based + heart-centered + body-informed.

Your healing deserves this.

The holidays overwhelm your nervous system—but you can train your brain to respond differently.

Neurofeedback therapy (FDA-approved) teaches real-time self-regulation through brainwave monitoring. When family stress triggers cortisol flooding, you have a tool beyond willpower.

CenterPointe combines neurofeedback with CBT, DBT, and CranioSacral Therapy for complete healing.

Brain-based + heart-centered = science meets compassion.
