Addiction Recovery Life Coaching Program – Starts May 21 - Torah Psychology School of Coaching and Counseling

Would you like to become an Addiction Recovery Life Coach helping others overcome their addictions? Do you know a loved one or someone who struggles with Alcohol, Drugs, Internet, Sex and Food addictions? Do you want to change the lives of your family/community members using a Torah approach inspired by Viktor Frankl, Holocaust survivor and author of Man’s Search for Meaning?

While a therapist might diagnose addictive behavior and prescribe treatment, this is not the coach’s focus. Instead, a coach will offer someone the tools and guidance needed to follow the path they’ve already chosen. This will include learning how to:

Spot the signs of drugs/alcohol/Internet, sexual and food addictions
Offer guidance in developing new behavior patterns
Create an effective plan of action
Reduce resistance to change
Direct that person to the right medical/group/therapeutic resources
Utilize the teachings of Rabbi Dr. Avraham Twerski, z”l

The 15-week online program led by Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch, LMFT, includes special guest speakers including:
