 You Are 4  Questions Away From Knowing the Facts

There are thousands dying from addiction and even more being killed directly or indirectly getting drugs to people once they have become addicted to substances. 

The responsibility to impact the drug epidemic must start with each of us.

It can’t be left in the hands of governments that are forever changing their strategies or the hands of physician's who are unskilled in recognising your potential for addiction. 

Are you ready to take action for your family's future?

You are just 4 questions away from knowing how much at risk you and your individual family member are.

Imagine being able to prevent the tragedy of addiction in your family.

First, the FACE will pinpoint the risk you may have.  You may find that you have a reduced risk and this in turn will lead to you having reduced stress.

By knowing your risk, and the type of lifestyle that increases the risk, you will gain knowledge to how therapy can be of help.

 You will learn what you need from therapy/counseling and where you can find a professional that can help

Not all therapists have the knowledge required to help with powerful change work so we will give you a questionnaire to ask your therapist to make sure they are suitably trained to help you. 

Therapist/counsellors are bound by ethics to not treat somebody they are not qualified to work with. 

You would like to know the answers to your questions, wouldn’t you?

Addiction is BIG business. 

With FACE you don't have to be part of it! 

The FACE Screening booklet is packed full of useful information but most importantly it contains the four questions you must ask yourself to determine your pre-dependency and  predisposition to addiction. 

Using FACE will 

  1. Empower you with knowledge to understand you and your family members.
  2. Help you to take charge over the medications you take. 
  3. Be prepared with proven research so that you can inform your Doctor what you need. 
  4. Reduce your risk of falling victim to "Accidental" addiction. Know what drugs you need to take for pain  
  5. If you are pre-dependent  know the alternative drugs that you can take for pain and anxiety

Along with the FACE Screening Booklet you will have access to 

1. Videos demonstrating Change Work

2. What to do if you find out you are pre-dependent.

This is usually when you are told about individuals and families that have had marvelous changes in their lives due to first using the FACE, and then having the necessary therapy to make positive life changes.

 

INSTEAD, I believe it’s time to be more personal and share with you how my life has changed  

 

From Jim:


”

 Both my parents, grandfather, cousin, and uncle had suffered for years from addiction. Too often I hear people talk about how dysfunctional addicted families are.  Let me put a different light on families caught in this painful cycle.

Growing up I never questioned that I was loved by my parents and sister. In fact, there was always love shared by all my family. My parents raised my sister and me to be extremely independent and responsible in our work and caring for others.

For example, I remember once in grammar school a classmate was sick and missed our class Easter party in which we all got an Easter basket. I volunteered to take the sick child’s basket to him. My mother drove me to his home and as I knocked on the front door with my hat in my hand, I gave the basket to his thankful mother. I remember how I felt to this day when my mother shared her feelings of pride over me being a little gentleman and my kind behavior.

With such fond memories there are of course the painful ones also. These are the ones that brought me great pain, embarrassment and even at times, fear. I struggled with trusting others that I was close to, never quite knowing when something might go wrong in a relationship.

In college I got into therapy for extra credit in a psychology class.  My life began to change, and my alcohol abuse began to come under control, my grades took a drastic turn for the better from F’s and Ds to A’s and B’s.

My mother once told a friend when I was in college, “We don’t know what happened to Jimmy, but he has caught fire.” This was all a result of my therapy and my taking action, changing my negative beliefs about myself to positive ones and gaining a desire to become the best therapist/counselor I could possibly be.

 My mother always wanted a large family and when I was about six, she found out she couldn’t have any more children and the pain of the news overwhelmed her and she never seemed to get over it.

She started drinking abusively, and as her addiction worsened a naive doctor put her on Valium which just led to her being addicted to alcohol and sedatives.  My thought is his foolish treatment hastened her death.

Most addicted individuals are not bad people, they are simply people wanting to move from negative to positive feelings about themselves, the world and others. Substances are used to gain relief from pain, fear, sadness, anxiety, and other negative feeling states. Due to tolerance their constant use over time becomes abuse and ultimately addiction as their brain chemistry alters. 

I was frustrated that doctors didn't see what was coming. 

This is the impetus that pushed me into such an important endeavor as developing The FACE Screening.

This is why I dedicated my time to  developing FACE.

I never want any child to experience their loving parent becoming addicted right before their eyes.

At ICASSI 2023 in Dublin, I attended Jim Holders course on

"Addictions and Early Recollections"

During the course  participated in a demonstration with Jim, working with an Early Recollection of mine. 

The process was moving, emotional and insightful for me. 

Jim lead the process of transformation of my memory sensitively and with much encouragement. The gentle pace allowed me to engage in the experience with courage. 

Jim worked with cognition and sensory aspects of my presence in the memory. This combination allowed for a rich experience shifting my subjective understanding of my early memory and conclusion that I held since that time in early childhood. 

I can still see in my mind the way I changes the memory with Jim. The image remains powerful, as does the somatic impact. 

Thank you, Jim, for accompanying me on a meaningful journey.

Caroline came in to see me years ago frustrated and angry and as I did the FACE Screening with her, she was in fact a pre-dependent who had become addicted to alcohol, opioids, sedative, and sugar. She clearly had met 3 of the 4 major criteria of the FACE and was always at a high risk for addiction so it was no wonder that she had become addicted to multiple substances. She switched from one substance to another during her earlier treatments.  She had not used substances except for sugar for a period of years but was still suffering in her daily life at work, in relationships, and with herself. She had a host of negative beliefs.  For example, “when I rise up people put me down”.  She was also perfectionistic and critical of herself. One of her first statements she repeated to me was that “I beat my head against the wall all the time.” One of her early childhood memories was her throwing rocks up against the wall in her bedroom.

 Once we understood her risk factors and exactly what they were and, even more importantly, how these unconscious risks were played out in her daily life, her memory change work and re-orientation was accomplished in a few sessions. Before doing her work, she was fearful and said, “If I change it (the memory) what will I learn?” I informed her that there would be freedom gained by her awareness with an understanding of how to move through the rest of her life.  Her major awareness came out of her memory work where she saw the thread that connected all her memories, beliefs, and her patterns in life.  She said, “Ahh! When I didn’t know what to do in the past I didn’t ask for help. I sabotaged myself and now I can support myself by asking for help and I can breath for the first time.”

In sharing her progress during our last session, she said, “I am so pleased with all my progress. I am the most pleased with my ex-husband in responding so well to my life changes. He is now letting me know that he would like me to move back in with him, and that he enjoys my company. He has even taken the alcohol out of the house. I have also seen a friend change around me in a positive way, we are now more positive together.”  Caroline had also said, “none of the 5 counselors I had in the past ever had me focus on my memories, lifestyle, and beliefs. Thank you, Jim.”

I had several ah ha moments going through the FACE activity, first as I was thinking of my earliest childhood memory I started to realize that my feelings were or could be at the base of my misuse. Jamie replied "this gave me a new way to look at my life and the past, I realized that there are a lot of different things we can be addicted to and this made me think of others in my early life to see a pattern that I would not have been thinking had anything to do with my stuff and to look at others in my family at risk". Cheryl went on to say, "That our risk for substance use can be caused at an early age by circumstances beyond our conscious control".

This gave me a new way to look at my life and the past, and now how it can be without pain.

Backed by Proven Research

Even though the screening tool comes from numerous research studies, Jim Holder while at McLeod Medical Center, and Dr. Linda Leach, past Director of the Graduate Counseling Department of the University of South Carolina, and Matt Bram of McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence SC,  knew that the FACE Screening itself had to be researched as an instrument.

The McLeod Medical Center IRB approved the research in 2004. The tool, along with the research, was first presented by Jim Holder and Dr. Linda Leach at the Best Practice Conference instituted by the South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, (DAODAS).

For those of you that are not researchers the following information simply states how the FACE Screening instrument is valid in all 4 areas that it screens as an instrument.

 

The interview format was developed to provide a standardized format for collection of quantitative data.

In addition to the FACE, participants completed the Substance Abuse Screening Instrument for Addictions (SASSI-3) to further establish the validity of the FACE instrument. The SASSI- 3 is currently used by hundreds of organizations. The SASSI-3 was found to be accurate in five diverse types of settings. Overall accuracy in these settings ranged from 93% to 98%.

General Results on Initial Validation of the FACE Instrument:   

*There were significant positive relationships noted between the overall F score and the FVA scale of the SASSI, the Face Validity for other Drugs, and the Defensiveness scale.

*Significant positive relationships were noted between the overall A score and the FVA, FVOD, Obvious Attributes scale, Supplements Addiction Measure on the SASSI. Significant Negative Relationships were noted between the overall A score and the Defensiveness scale and Family vs. Controls scales of the SASSI.

*Significant positive relationships were noted between the FVA, FVOD, AND Supplemental Addictions Measure were noted. Significant negative relationships between the C scale and the Defensiveness and Family vs. controls scale of the SASSI were noted.

 *Themes that validate the Face Screening Instrument are found in the memory attempting to overcome a challenge, threatening situation, negative feeling experience, positive feeling with negative tone, addictive substances consumed, situations causing excitement, manipulating others, death, Illness/injury, and punishment.

With Special Contribution from Dr. Teresa Herzog PhD at the Francis Marion University.
