Addiction Inside Out

Is an online training for therapists and coaches who want to become specialists in the area of addictions.

If you have appropriate qualification, experience, and attitude, this training can definitely help you take your work to the next level. It will give you a clear understanding of how addiction functions, and how to help your clients find freedom from it.

This training contains my very best insights, skills, and resources, from my many years of client work. There really is nothing else like it as far as I know.

The content is 100% original and has been thoroughly road-tested over many years. If you are a therapist or coach looking to work more effectively with addictions, this training is probably for you!

In-depth, Interactive Training

Most training teaches information and techniques, and that’s about it. The training I offer goes way beyond that!

working online gives great flexibility! Throughout the 90 day period, you will be working with the same practice partner, and gaining direct experience of the impact of this work.

The best way to learn is through facilitating as a therapist and coach and experiencing as a client. By the end of the training, you will have real-world experience of the impact of this work on a personal and professional level.

This training helps build your confidence. You will be able to sit with a client and know without doubt that you can help them find freedom from addiction.

Understanding The Addicted Brain

This is a very important part of the training. In gaining a deeper understanding of how addiction functions in the brain, you can do much more impactful work with your clients.

Once you know how addiction functions in the brain, you can help your client raise their awareness of how their patterns function.

You will also be able to fine-tune your interventions so that the compulsive chain of reactions that fuel addictive patterns is successfully disrupted.

Once you know addiction’s impact on the brain, you become a better guide in your client’s healing process so that homeostasis can finally be restored.

Inspire & Be Inspired!

Addicts are often creative people. Whatever new way of life they want to create, beyond addiction, has to carry a high level of reward.

Therapists and coaches are also creative people. Unfortunately, a lot of training lacks a creative spark!

The interventions I teach in the Addiction Inside Out training, are designed to awaken clients to their own resources for change, creativity and growth.

One of the most inspiring things I have seen over the last years of being a trainer is how participants take what they learn from me and make it their own. It’s very inspiring! I learn as much from the therapists and coaches who attend my training as they do from me.

Ongoing Peer Support

Those who help others also need support at times. There are those tricky clients who may be a risk to themselves, with needs that may be beyond the limitations of our brief. Sometimes we need an extra set of eyes.

If you sign up for Addiction Inside Out you will have lifetime access to a peer support group on Facebook where you can give and receive guidance.

Sometimes we are afraid to reach out. We fear we may be judged or criticised. This is normal in some places, but not in this group. This group is a safe and respectful space!

Emotional Porcessing & Healing

I am yet to meet a client with addiction as the presenting problem, who didn’t have some form of unhealed pain or trauma. Such wounds need to be processed and healed, otherwise, addiction will return at some point.

Helping a client to stay on track with creating their new life, while engaged in this challenging work of emotional processing and healing, takes a lot of skill and awareness.

The Addiction Inside Out training can give you both the skills and awareness to guide your clients through such times! You will be able to help clients find their light in dark places, and help them stay on track in their process.

Life Beyond Addiction

Some therapists and coaches have a tendency to be over-fixated on fixing problems. A common misunderstanding is that once addictive behaviour has stopped, the work is done.

One of the big questions people with addictions have is usually about what they would do with their lives once the alcohol, drugs, and other behaviours are gone. Helping a client to create their life beyond addiction, through a clear vision and values-based choices, is essential.

The aim of any client work I do is to help my client reach a place of autonomy, where they can take charge of their own process. This is what I would wish for you, in your work, with your own clients.

Become An Exceptional Addiction Therapist & Recovery Coach

The best way to become exceptional is to surround yourself with exceptional practitioners. Once you have completed the Addiction Inside Out training, you will be part of a great community of exceptional therapists and coaches.

The Addiction Inside Out Community is a wonderful space for learning and growth. Having such a community around me has enabled me to grow into the therapist that I am today. What could such a community do for you?
