Beyond Recovery

COURSE BR

Are you interested in a non-traditional perspective of what addiction and beyond-recovery is really all about? If so, you have joined the ground-swell of colleagues looking for more creative, positive and value based programs built to empower the “”beyond-recovery / into discovery” clients.

This 12 credit course presents a paradigm shift from the “once an addict – always an addict” axiom to the “once a human being, always a human being” axiom; and provides life coaches with knowledge, skills, and concepts uniquely tailored to the needs of addiction-emancipated clients. These life templates empower the client to design and implement meaning, self-respect, connections, and purpose into life. Central to this specialized coaching approach are the ten process-oriented “Growth Process Affirmations” with emphasis on inherent strengths, values, and life-purpose. They form the foundation for this program and they stress heuristic-based developmental growth possibilities as theorized by Robert Kegan.

The shift from defining an individual by a label to seeing potential difficulties as an opportunity for expanded learning may hold the answer to preventing the dreaded possibility of relapse.
