BEMT can be used for personal development and wellness. It’s about your beliefs and behavior choices.
This applies to all areas of our lives: School, marriage, family, children, career, performance, income potential and retirement.
Regarding substance abuse treatment, Marich and Danziger report that “relapse rates are as high as 60% in the first year of treatment and 80% by the end of the second year.” This is regardless of what testing in various treatment centers reflects.
Further, relapse, recidivism and drug court graduation rates have not improved in the last 20 years. What’s really going on?
According to Wanberg, Milkman and Judith S. Beck, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, “There will be no long-term behavior changes unless core, permission-granting beliefs are changed first…as soon as possible.”
Here’s a counselor example:
“If counselors are supposed to help clients learn, and clients must learn to change beliefs to change behavior,
then counselors and therapists must learn how to help clients change beliefs…
Contrapositive:
If counselors don’t learn how to help clients change beliefs,
then they cannot help clients achieve real behavior change.
✅ This is airtight.
✅ Bulletproof logic.
✅ No counselor or trainer could logically argue against it without denying the necessity of belief change itself — which the top experts (Wanberg, Milkman, Beck, Ellis, Miller and Rollnick) have already confirmed.”
Administrators, counselors and therapists might recognize the need for specific training to help clients learn how to change limiting, permission-granting core beliefs about AOD/CTC. This could minimize the probability of R&R, errors and omissions problems or being harmful for clients and public safety.
