Every movement starts with a question, and for us, it was: What actually helps people change?

In this first episode of Rewrite Your Story, Milton McLelland and Victoria Johansen share how the SAS Model, the Self-Alignment System, came to life at Roots Counseling & Wellness.

What began as a blend of DBT and Internal Family Systems grew into a framework that helps people see where they are, where they want to go, and the phases they move through along the way: Learn, Heal, Grow, Strengthen, guided by Radical Acceptance.

This is more than a new model, it’s the foundation of a movement toward compassionate, sustainable change.

🎧 Join us as we explore the origins of SAS and what it means to rewrite your story.
