Beyond step work
We work with the person, not only the habit.
Coaching for substance abuse, pornography, gambling, shopping, and the compulsive patterns that quietly run a life, including the ones that never get called an addiction out loud.
What we mean by the person underneath it
Most people who come to us for this have already tried to white-knuckle their way past a behavior they cannot seem to stop, or have sat through step work that named the problem without ever quite reaching what feeds it. Our approach goes beyond that. We do not just work on the behavior, we work with the person underneath it, on how you have come to think about yourself and about the compulsion that turned into a habit, and on the causes sitting under both. That includes substance abuse, pornography, gambling and shopping. Sara and Carrie will also tell you plainly that even depression can be addictive, a familiar low that starts to feel safer than the work of climbing out of it. Whatever the shape of it is for you, we would rather talk about the whole person than manage a single behavior.
What this is not
Coaching here is faith based and relational, not a substitute for a doctor's care. We are Certified Life Coaches, not physicians, and withdrawal from alcohol or drugs can be genuinely dangerous and needs a doctor's oversight, not ours. If you are in danger right now, please call 911 or the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline before you call us. For everything short of that, and for the ongoing work of understanding why a behavior took hold and how to live differently around it, this is exactly the kind of thing we sit with people through. Sessions are $125 for the hour and most people plan for four to eight of them to begin with.
Sara and Carrie have sat with people through this before. Call (806) 283-8586 when you are ready to talk.
