Beyond Recovery Program Training
Learning this strengths-based program will bring you and your client’s attainment of growth potential and success
Course Overview:
This successful program is based on a Gestalt model of health and Positive Psychology principles and can be used by Therapists and Coaches regardless of specialized orientation.
Becoming sober after years of substance use/abuse is cause for celebration. However, statistical reality of frequent relapses confronts every Addiction/Mental Health Professional or Coach regardless of the kind of addiction. Must relapse really happen? We do not believe so and the
“Coaching the Addiction-Recovered Individual to Full Potential”
is attesting to that hopeful reality.
Here is the Paradigm shift: The Beyond-Recovery Program believes that once a Human Being Always a Human Being and that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A human cannot be solely defined by a phase of his life i.e. once an addict, always an addict; he is more complex and multi-dimensional. The Beyond Recovery Training program introduces you to a 10-phasic “becoming” process called Growth Process Affirmations™ facilitating discovery of inherent strengths and creative self-modulations that will enable the client to re-claim his/here uniqueness and shape a thriving future in the process of fulfilling their full potential.

What Students Say...
“Being an individual who has experienced many years of bondage to life controlling substances and behaviors, this class has radically changed the way I view addiction and recovery. The strengths based model of addiction has caused me to greater acceptance of my past behaviors and experiences which has lifted my self-esteem tremendously. In addition, I am now able to help others discover their own strengths and become more aware of their body/mind experiences that will facilitate growth. A fantastic class and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to coach people through and beyond recovery.”

What Students Say...
Helga Matzko's course on Coaching the Addiction Recovered Client is an excellent resource for anyone who does coaching work with the addiction recovered population. It provides a new perspective on moving the addiction recovered client forward within the framework of a coaching relationship. The addiction recovered client is unique and usually comes into coaching with longstanding beliefs that come from the traditional 12-Step Programs and Treatment Centers. Helga's coursework and materials gives her students a new outlook on the traditional messages of the recovery community, and allows many of those messages to be re-framed and re-designed to allow for a truly fulfilling coaching experience with a very specialized community. While never detracting from what has worked in the past, Helga provides a fresh perspective and new ideas that can be incorporated with the traditional messages of the recovery community to allow both processes to work in harmony towards the clients' ultimate goals. The lessons learned in this course are both refreshing and invaluable for anyone who works with an addiction recovered clientele.”
