CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL COACH (CPC):
Life Coaching Essentials Training Course

Life Coaching is about Healthy Change and helping people to envision and achieve the life they desire. Coaching is focused on the future and moving from the present situation to a desired future grounded in purpose and meaning.

Coaches are NOT therapists or counselors who diagnose emotional problems. Coaching is based on the belief that people are creative, resourceful, resilient and able to make authentic choices about their lives. Coaches provide a trustworthy partnership; how do they do this….? They create a safe space, become genuinely curious, use powerful questions, listen deeply, reflect back what they hear.

Coaches expand awareness to help their clients explore choices and results based on new insight and perspectives. Coaches provide structure and accountability to help their clients clarify and build on their own internal motivations for positive life change, and celebrate successes!

Our Life Coaching Essentials Program is based in Positive Psychology with a focus on our strengths, on our future, on our possibilities, on meaning, and challenging false assumptions. Our training and certification will give you the know- how and the confidence you need to provide excellent Professional Coaching to your clients.

NEUROSCIENCE OF JOYFUL RECOVERY:
The Power of a Joyful Connection

Recent advances in neuroscience are demonstrating the relational nature of the brain, and the essential role that joy plays in healthy development of the infant and adult brain. These advances describe the effects of addiction on the brain as well as the foundational role that joy plays in recovery.

The experience of joy in the context of relationships powerfully shapes the ways in which the brain is organized and structured. Joy provides the foundation the brain needs to learn how to regulate emotions, pain, pleasure and essential neurotransmitters effectively. Joy is also needed for the brain to develop secure attachments with others throughout life. Joy is the foundation for healthy relationships, emotional regulation and prevention.

FAMILY ISSUES IN RECOVERY:
Releasing the Authentic Self

As part of the CPRC program, this course will prepare CPRC graduates to help individual clients explore their family of origin background and discover its impact on their lives and recovery. The course is NOT designed to train CPRC graduates to offer coaching services to a family group.

Discover why “Addiction is not a spectator sport; eventually the whole family gets to play.” Coaches, counselors, teachers, other helping professionals and even family members will learn to view the family affected by addiction as a whole unit with useless strategies trying to cope with the distress and pain of living with active addiction. Identifying patterns of bonding, boundaries, rules, roles and rituals within the coaching relationship can release tremendous insight and bring hope and healing. People who grew up in alcoholic or addicted homes can become resourceful, contributing adults.

Self-Discovery is the key for many people to move from struggling in recovery to thriving. Understanding “where we came from” often holds the promise of positive change and recovered possibilities.

In Family Issues in Recovery, you will learn:

  • The Family Legacy of multigenerational addiction
  • The critical role of relational (personal) needs in the context of our family of origin
  • Four major rules of dysfunctional families and how to interact as a supportive coach to families
  • Seven major roles that make up an intricate coping structure within addicted families and the goal of each role.
  • Four main categories of characteristics of Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoAs)
