Are you interested in increasing your coaching skills specific to the post-recovery population? 

 

“The philosophy of many traditional addiction recovery programs is ‘once an addict, always an addict’. I believe once a human being – always a human being! 

“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts,” a scientific truth.

The difference of these two statements presents a powerful paradigm shift. Coaching Beyond Recovery holds that the client is and had been capable of ‘organismic self-regulation’ using many strengths and creative adjustments to arrive where he is today, This paradigm shift from viewing addiction as disease only, rather acknowledging evidence-based strengths operating throughout life, is powerful and affirming. The many skills taught in Beyond Recovery continue to build robust Mental Health and fulfillment of a life lived well.

This coaching approach uses ten “Growth Process Affirmations"© (GPA).

These affirmations highlight 8 process-oriented developmental growth phases

1. Necessary skill building of residual unmet developmental needs – growth potential
2. Harnessing and enhancing human strengths present throughout a life time of addiction/recovery
3. Creating possibilities to realize fulfillment of human potential
4. Honoring individual differences, needs, and values
5. Holding the potential for removing ever-present fear of relapse
6. Accepting foundational learning from self-help groups
7. Celebrates the uniqueness of each person in context of his/her environment
8. Client is whole, competent, resourceful, and creative, in possession of all necessary attributes to embrace the life of his/her design
