Viktor Frankl Addiction Recovery
Life Coaching Program
(Drugs, Alcohol, Internet, Food)

Starting March 19

​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:

 

  • Dr. Judith Grisel, former addict and author of “Never Enough: The Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction

  • Lew Abrams, LCSW - Expert on Addiction in the Orthodox world

  • Dominique Simon-Levine, PhD, Director, Alliesinrecovery.net

  • Michael Otay, Caron Treatment Centers

Includes lectures from leading physicians and psychologists from Caron Treatment Centers
