What is Transformational Recovery Coaching?
“Transformational” recovery coaching helps the client “transform” themselves, from their forgotten, wounded, addicted, and suspended and unintegrated “selves,” to the path of their integrated and true self. Transformational recovery coaching transcends addiction “and” recovery; breaking the cycle of addiction is the conversion and initiation into a person’s conscious life journey. This is often described as a spiritual awakening when a person discovers their worth and purpose for being here. A person goes from being unregulated and disembodied to embodied and tuned into their true self. Clients use the recovery coaching relationship as a catalyst to align with the best version of themselves.

“Recovery Coaching is a type of “helping” relationship, whereby a trained coach works with a client under agreement and exchange to help the client break the cycle of addiction.” The word “recovery” commonly refers to “addiction” recovery. However, as we see with Being True To You, recovery isn’t just for addiction. The process of “recovering the true self” can happen from whatever state of suffering or detour a person has found themselves in. In our terms, Recovery Coaching is the alliance formed between a trained coach and client, adhering to the principles of: compassion, sincerity, autonomy, perseverance, and integration, in the direction of the client’s true self.”
There are more than 21 million people with substance abuse issues in North America today. 20% of them receive treatment. Most of them could benefit from coaching pre and post treatment.
- Recovery coaching provides extra support in helping people enhance the quality of their lives now by focusing on their strengths, resources, opportunities, and visions moving forward, as opposed to focusing on past stories, addictions, problems, and challenges.
- Recovery coaching can occur in person, online or over the phone. It can continue between sessions through electronic communications, and it can happen through one-on-one talk-sessions, group coaching, online classes, and self-study programs.
- Recovery coaching is for people who are recovering, or wanting to recover, from an addiction (substance or behavioral addiction), or from something else. It is for people who are willing to invest time, money, and focus into their recovery.
- Recovery coaching can occur as a stand-alone recovery program, or as a supplemental program in conjunction with other programs.
- Recovery coaching is flexible, adaptable, and customizable to fit the client; the client is the expert and designer of their recovery pathway; it is supposed to be fun, exciting, creative, and ever encouraging and inspiring.
Recovery coaching has many objectives:
- Helping clients get honest with themselves
- Helping clients connect with their core values
- Helping clients identify where they are blocked
- Helping clients free their minds and move energy
- Helping clients heal their bodies and release trauma
- Helping clients raise their level of being, find their true north
- Helping clients take positive action, integrate insights
- Helping clients sort themselves out, organize their lives
- Helping clients overcome addiction and other states of suffering
- Helping clients prioritize tasks, meet needs, achieve goals
- Helping clients develop skills: life, communication, relationship, & career
- As well as problem-solving, decision-making, conflict-resolution skills, etc
- Helping clients find the path of their true self (in their own regard)
Recovery coaching has many advantages:
- Meets the client where they are at: the coach assists clients through a transformational process that fits them, as they are today, where they are today, and with what they need, want, and prefer today.
- Makes it possible to recover on their terms, through their own intuitive process, preferred methodologies, and creative vision.
- Encourages exploration of the whole self, who they are in different social settings, in what ways they are being pushed and pulled in different directions, and all the parts of their mind, body, spirit, and life.
- Forms a genuine human-to-human bond and spiritual connection unlimited by traditional regulations and taboo conversations; the client can show all sides of themselves (a multi-dimensional relationship).
- Makes recovery from home possible; clients can learn and practice in their natural environment and make changes in their life in real time (versus waiting to get out of treatment)
- Allows for mistakes and relapse, sees these things as learning opportunities, a chance to see what is still blocked and burdened, and a platform for continued growth
- Truth and solution-based, looking for accurate reflections, best-case-scenarios, most effective ways, answers & solutions, and a grounded, balanced, meaningful stance in life *
What is Psychedelic Integration Coaching?
A psychedelic integration coach helps a client to prepare mentally, emotionally and physically for their transformational experience and integrate it afterwards in order to create lasting change. People around the world are becoming interested in using psychedelics for personal transformation, addiction recovery and psychospirtual growth. In mainstream medicine psychedelics show promise as a treatment for depression, alcoholism, nicotine dependence, anxiety related to a terminal illness (existential crisis), chronic PTSD, and social anxiety related to autism, among other potential applications. Psychedelics are also known to induce mystical experiences which can change a person’s outlook on life.*

*Research shows that psychedelics (also known as entheogens), natural or synthetic, in their pure form at the right doses, and in the right setting, are extremely valuable and beneficial to a person’s mental health, emotional healing, physical restoration, social connectedness, spiritual development, quality of life, and clarity to one’s faith, life purpose, values and morals. “Numerous case studies testify to the therapeutic effects of LSD to treat addiction, neurosis, anxiety disorder, chronic mental illness, and pain syndromes.” –Stanislav Grof Roland Griffiths, professor at John Hopkins University initiated research in 1999 on the effects of psilocybin. Of the 18 participants, after 14 months of taking a full dose of psilocybin, 94% said their experience: “was of the top five most meaningful experiences of their lives; 39% it was the single most meaningful experience.” (Maia Szalavitz, 2011).
