This is a course that demonstrates the reality that “Addiction is not a spectator sport; eventually the whole family gets to play.” Dr Jean LaCour has adapted her popular course on The Family and Addiction to show you how families have the power of their love and bonds distorted by coping patterns which compensate for the distress and pain of living with active addiction.
Patterns of bonding, boundaries, rules, roles and rituals can be identified and addressed within the coaching relationship to meet the individual needs of clients. Using a nonclinical Self Discovery Process clients are able to discover their negative patterns such as codependency.
People who grew up in alcoholic or addicted homes or currently living in this setting, can gain insight and discover strategies that reinforce that they are indeed creative, resourceful and whole, and able to make authentic choices about their lives. Healthy recovery includes discovering personal resiliency, strengths, and positive traits. Professional Recovery Coaches hold the space for people to explore the promise of change and rediscovering possibilities.
