About
the Program

Changes I is South Pacific Private’s signature workshop and is what sets us apart from other treatment centres in the country.

The Changes I program is offered as part of our inpatient program and is now offered as a standalone workshop for individuals who are in recovery and wanting to dive deeper.

This trauma-informed program using Pia Mellody’s Model of Developmental Immaturity is an experiential process incorporating group therapy, education and process work. All facilitated by our renowned, formally trained clinicians.  

In a safe and compassionate environment you will have the opportunity to explore childhood relational trauma, to process, honour and release the painful feelings that are holding you back from embracing your full potential and moving forward in your recovery

Program Content

Over the course of the 5 days you will:

  • Understand your childhood and how it impacts your development, health and wellbeing now
  • Resolve grief and anguish from past experiences
  • Recognise your emotions and learn ways to express them appropriately
  • Identify and increase awareness of your personal trauma history
  • Identify and increase awareness of your defence mechanisms and coping strategies
  • Understand the importance of boundaries in relationships with others and yourself
  • Develop boundary-setting skills
  • Learn healthy ways of relating to others
  • Learn how to re-parent yourself
  • Investigate the origins of adult dysfunctional behaviour and increase functional adult behaviour

 Who is it for?

The program is specifically tailored to individuals who have struggled with life, relationships and finding joy.  This unique program has been designed for participants to learn how to manage relational difficulties, behaviours and explore the underlying causes that fuel addictions and mental health conditions.

  • Do you continue to relapse into old behaviours or addictions?
  • Do you have unresolved feelings of pain, anger, shame, guilt, loneliness and fear?
  • Do you have childhood wounds that won’t heal?
  • Do you continue to do the same things in relationships and feel overwhelmed or defeated?

If you relate to these questions, then this program is designed for you.

Most major health funds will cover the Changes I Program. Clients can claim via their private health fund if sufficient hospital cover is held. Please note all funds have different rules. We accept self-funded payments.

The full cost of the program for self-funded clients is $350 per day and includes morning tea and lunch.
