The Genesis Process is a systematic program designed to train
professional and lay counselors in Relapse Prevention by treating the
person first, the problem second. The core material, laid out in a
comprehensive, ten-unit workbook, focuses on identifying and working
through underlying issues that drive compulsive addictive behavior. The
Genesis Process is an integration of Biblical precepts for personal
change, proven relapse prevention techniques, and the latest neurochemistry research relating to human
behavior. For the first time in history we can answer the question "Why
do we do the very thing we don't want to do"? (Romans 7: 15-23)

Genesis is the first process that we know
that provides an individualized relapse
treatment plan for self destructive addictive
behavior. |
The Bible
tells us that trying to change behaviors without changing internal
thought/belief structures is an exercise in exhaustion that usually
leads to relapse. The Genesis Process recognizes that a person's self
destructive behavior is the expression of distorted beliefs systems, so along
with focusing on changing behaviors. These sabotaging beliefs system are
stored in a place in the brain called the limbic system. The limbic
system is what the Bible calls the heart. Genesis also concentrates on
identifying and changing these core belief systems. Its practices have been
shown to be effective for anyone stuck in self-defeating behavior
patterns who truly want to change. Genesis Process For Relapse
Prevention not designed as a self
help book (although many are successfully using it on their own). It
uses the insight and skill of a trained Genesis counselor in conjunction with the
Genesis Workbook to address the clients subconscious relapse patterns to
create a personal relapse prevention treatment plan that can truly
prevent relapse.
The
new Genesis Change Books
for Groups are designed to understand and apply the Genesis principals
without a trained counselor by following a comprehensive Facilitators
Guide.

With the HMO’s and government spending cuts, about 80% of the recovery
in the United States is done by International Union of Gospel Missions,
the Salvation Army and other Christian rehabs. A high percentage of
those have basically no formal training or materials for relapse
prevention with addictions. The reality is that competent Christian
recovery counselors or programs are extremely limited. Our trial studies
have proven extremely successful in working with severe alcoholics,
addicts and a variety of other addictions. The goal of the Genesis
Process is to bring Christian addiction counseling into the forefront of
the field by a providing a proven relapse prevention method, implemented
by trained counselors who have the knowledge, experience and
relationship with God to see those caught in addictions become free.
