“What Do You Really Want?”
Graceful Guidelines for Sexual Healing

Michael Picucci is one of the growing number of people today who have gone from surviving to “thriving.” From a childhood of trauma, abandonment, loss, and continuous uprooting, he reached his teens already addicted to alcohol and drugs. In 1983, he was diagnosed with a fast-growing lymphoma, now recognized as an AIDS-classified cancer. As well as being a long-term survivor of HIV, he has endured the deaths of two life partners, countless friends, and a recent heart attack. In struggling to heal himself both physically and spiritually he has discovered many powerful methods of healing that he now shares with others.

A nationally credentialed Master Addiction Counselor with a doctorate in The Psychology of Addictions Psychotherapy, Michael discovered a method that combines psychotherapy, the wisdom of the maturing recovery movement, and his own personal healing strategies. The result is a bold new form of healing for all people called Authentic Process Therapy. It allows deep feelings, longings for intimacy, and spiritual yearnings to emerge and become integrated, creating the experience of Complete Recovery.

Through his workshops, lectures, seminars, professional training program, and writing, Dr. Picucci brings forth a new and timely vision of joy and personal realization, one which shows how our most challenging personal hardships can be catalysts which guide us to and through our “life purpose.” This psychospiritual approach to healing has helped many find their way to fulfillment. He has a private practice in New York City and is co-founder of The Institute for Staged Recovery and Institute Psychotherapy Associates.
