What is Integrated Recovery Coaching?
An in depth process looking at each person as an individual in their recovery.
Integrative Recovery Coaching is geared towards the promotion of all aspects of the client. Utilizing her experience with recovery and Psychosynthesis, Dr. Morris has combined the tenets of Psychosynthesis and the cognitive focus of recovery coaching.
Clients are compassionately supported through the addiction recovery process, as they begin to understand the positive and transformational change of sobriety, avoid relapse, and rebuild their lives. When sobriety becomes more solid, the work begins toward emotional sobriety.
Through the exploration of the crisis that occurs following the powerful life event of becoming sober, it is possible to disengage from the darkness of addiction and integrate all parts of ourselves again. The process assists in eliminating shame, and begins the rebuilding self-esteem and self worth.
After a full exploration of the client’s substance abuse history, an individualized program is created, taking into consideration their history and lifestyle.
The client begins with three sessions a week, and reduces to twice a week according to their progress and individual needs. Eventually, the client is seen once a week when recovery stability has been established.
Recovery from addiction gives you the opportunity to create a new narrative.
Clarity and imagination returns as the healing of damaged relationships begins.
New relationships and community, based on a common purpose begin to develop.
