Break Free from Nicotine: A Unique Approach to Hope—Because Your Last Quit Could Be the One That Sticks!
Led by psychotherapist Chris Putnam, The Quitters Junto integrates Model (NARM) to address the multifaceted nature of nicotine addiction. These psychotherapy frameworks equip participants with the tools they need to explore their inner landscapes, understand the emoti Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the NeuroAffective Relational onal and relational factors tied to their addiction recovery, and cultivate healthier coping mechanisms.
How IFS and NARM Help:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS is a therapeutic model that helps individuals understand and harmonize the various parts of themselves. In the context of nicotine addiction, participants may have conflicting parts—such as the part that craves nicotine and the part that desires a healthier lifestyle. Through IFS, members of The Quitters Junto will learn to identify, communicate with, and integrate these parts, allowing them to navigate their cravings with compassion and self-awareness. This process fosters a greater sense of agency and reduces the internal conflict that often leads to relapse.
NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM): NARM focuses on the intersection of emotional and relational development and how these factors influence behavior. Many individuals turn to nicotine as a means of coping with unresolved emotional issues or relational patterns. By utilizing NARM principles, participants will explore the underlying emotional triggers that contribute to their nicotine use, helping them develop healthier relational dynamics and emotional resilience. This deeper understanding can lead to more sustainable behavior change, as individuals learn to address the root causes of their addiction rather than just the symptoms.
Together, the IFS and NARM approaches create a comprehensive therapeutic experience within The Quitters Junto, equipping participants with the insights and strategies they need for sustainable behavior change and to permanently quit nicotine. By fostering connection, self-discovery in therapy, and emotional healing in recovery, this group empowers individuals to reclaim their lives and live free from the constraints of addiction.
