Experiential

Therapy

Experiential therapy forms a significant part of our addiction treatment at Canyon Crossing. By offering real-world experiences such as our ropes course, adventure therapy, and trigger processing, we provide women with a hands-on approach to recovery. “Learning the ropes” in these settings imparts literal and figurative lessons about identifying strengths, confronting fears, and valuing teamwork. The insights gleaned are then applied to the broader context of active recovery and beyond.

A LIFE OF FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS IS

Possible.

Harnessing Inner Strength

One powerful aspect of experiential therapy is our ropes course, often located amidst an outdoor wilderness adventure. The physical challenges posed by the course—scaling logs, navigating rope webs, and crossing swinging bridges—compel women to tap into their mental and physical resilience. The requirement for risk-taking, decision-making, and open communication pushes boundaries for women in recovery. As emotional barriers break down, participants often uncover unexpected leadership qualities and resourcefulness within themselves. Once acknowledged, these strengths are nurtured through therapy to underpin self-respect and a renewed joy in living.

Fostering Community Bonds in Addiction Recovery

Integrated within the ropes course are team-based exercises designed to promote cooperative relationships among the participants. These complex challenges often necessitate women to support one another physically, driving clients to rely on their team. Each woman contributes her newfound strengths to the team’s effort, embracing the feedback from others and understanding that success necessitates community engagement. The shared resilience and wisdom of the team become instrumental in the recovery process, transforming into essential life skills for cultivating healthy relationships.
