INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Most individuals who have never embarked upon the therapeutic process have stereotypical misconceptions about working with a coach; however, those who face their respective fears to actually show for an appointment soon discover that coaching is merely a conduit for what is most fundamentally a commitment to yourself.  In many ways, the coach's compassionate ear is simply mirroring the validation that you lend to your own needs and feelings, when you set aside an hour that is solely yours, each week.

Many newcomers to the
coaching process are amazed to find out how innately healing simply talking and being heard can be.  In essence, addiction-recovery coaching melds the most cutting-edge information from fields such as psychology and neurology, with ancient and universal curatives such as comforting and confirming. 

Coaching is a dynamic and catalytic process through which
the professional may, at various times and based upon each client's needs, be confidant, educator, adviser, witness, advocate, coach or mentor.  ARCS coaches rely upon their specialized education to guide intervention, program development, case management and the coaching relationship, simply because adequate understanding about the nature and mechanics of addiction is the prerequisite to escaping its torturous grasp.  Furthermore, more than any other coaching function, education is conducive to clients becoming autonomous and empowered.

The most important factor for individual session clients to remember is that the most primary relationship being developed in the coaching process is the one within.  Your interactions with your coach are merely a template for a loving relationship with yourself, for we all learn through modeling - witnessing and, then, repeating. 

One of the most profound properties of individual coaching is the opportunity to both experience and internalize healthy dynamics that may have been foreign, in the past.  As one of our ARCS directors recently noted, "the miracle of addiction-recovery coaching is that it can not only completely undo the familiarity of defunct thinking and behavior patterns, but it can also, actually, neurologically hard-wire effective, new thinking and behavior patterns... simply because the psyche learns through modeling and practicing."
