Coaching Beyond Recovery
Questions & Answers:

What is Beyond Recovery Coaching?

Recovery Coaching is a specialty within the Coaching Profession. Beyond Recovery coaching serves individuals who have become sober either from following the 12-step Program of AA, NA, OA, GA, SLA,   OR some other paths to gain sobriety. Coaching beyond sobriety enlarges the definition of “I Am an…”, to “Once a human being, always a Human being” encompassing all strengths, growth potentials, complexities, possibilities and human potential of the recovering individuals.

No, you do not. To participate in the program offered by the Institute for www.LifeCoachingTraining.com you must have 20 hours credit introductory coaching training. If you do not have a coaching background and you are an Addiction, Mental Health or Family Therapist or other Mental Health Professional, you can take the program through the Gestalt Institute Rhode Island, www.GestaltRI.com in either day-long workshops or teleclasses.

Will I have supervisory support or mentoring while I am learning this program?

I usually provide Field work experiments so that you can practice the concepts. I also provide you with many resources for further enrichment. I often suggest questions via emails, tell of good experiences you have had. I’ll answer specific questions very briefly. Actual supervision and Mentoring is a different category.

There are different prices. They vary depending on lengths of time per teleclass, workshop, material required, and permission for use of copyrighted material.
