My job as career coach is to help you get the success you want, which you have not been able to do on your own. The process is to identify what is blocking you, construct a plan to overcome and then support you, clarify for you, cheer you, challenge you and even comfort you as needed to arrive at the goal you strive for. Exercises, homework and practice activities are some of the tasks you can look forward to. I will want to be involved with you for at least 2 hours per month in what ever way it takes to get your job of doing a better job, done. Counseling for addictions is a proven aid to building a solid, clean and sober recovery.
Sobriety is difficult to attain and more difficult to sustain.
Counseling works to keep your anxiety low so that you can be more mindful of how to know and meet your needs. It gives you the tools to find better ways to take care of yourself so that you no longer need addictive behaviors to feel good. Some of the addictive behaviors I have helped people successfully overcome include substances such as alcohol, pot, cocaine, food, sex, work and relationship dependency. A large part of my counseling practice focuses on relapse prevention. This is a specialized approach very successful with clients who repeatedly slip in their sobriety.
