RECOVERY COACHING

" Recovery Coaching is a branch of Life Coaching specializing in working with people in recovery from addiction. Recovery Coaches work with smoking cessation, weight-loss and over- or under-eating, drinking, gambling problems, drugs, relationships, etc. Recovery Coaching works as well for clients in 12 step Programmes as it does for clients who choose different pathways to Recovery.

Recovery Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps folks who are in or who are considering recovery from addiction to produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses, or organizations—while advancing their recovery from addiction.

Recovery Coaches affirm that there is innate health and wellness in each of our clients. We hold our clients creative and resourceful. We do not promote or endorse any single or particular way of achieving or maintaining sobriety, abstinence, or serenity or of reducing suffering from addiction. Our focus is on coaching our clients to create and sustain great and meaningful lives.

Through the process of Recovery Coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client toward action. Recovery Coaching accelerates the client's progress in recovery by providing greater focus and awareness of choices, actions, and responsibility. Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to enjoy a better tomorrow.

The Recovery Coaching process recognizes that results are a matter of the client's intentions, choices, and actions taken toward building a strong foundation and creating a life worth staying healthy for, supported by the coach's efforts and application of the coaching process. ”

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A RECOVERY COACH, A COUNSELLOR AND A SPONSOR

A Recovery Coach does not work on the past but works together with you to identify goals and stumbling blocks in your present which can affect your future.

A Recovery Coaching client is able to identify a goal that is not just primarely emotional like "wanting to stop being depressed" (which should be monitored and treated by a trained counselor or therapist) but is able to have and want to work towards goals such as actions to take to relieve depression, changing diet, attitudes, physical health and mental health so as to have a more enjoyable life.

I also also work with clients on issues such as changing a career, going through a life transition without substance abuse, starting a business, etc.

Counsellors give advice, which coaches rarely do. In counselling the counsellor is the expert; in Coaching the client is the expert about his or her own life. A coaching client is healthy and competent enough to relate to the coach as a partner and not an expert.

A Sponsor comes from a 12-step programme such as Overeaters Anonymous. A sponsor benefits personally from the relationship in order to stay clean and abstinent. A sponsor is not professionally qualified to work one on one with a client except to help clients work and use the the 12 steps as a way to recover. The Recovery Coach has leaned techniques specific to working with clients, ways to understand clients in recovery, different ways of approaching an issue or problem sot that the client remains creative and resourceful. The Recovery coach works with the client to achieve his or her own personal goals without judgement or criticism, and with support and attention.

Recovery Coaches are not professional affiliated with 12-step Programmes but many Recovery Coaches are actively involved in 12-step Programmes of Recovery.
