Counseling focuses on the past and how the past unresolved issues are impacting the present. Coaching focuses on the present and what actions can be taken today to move the client forward. Evolve will provide referrals to a therapist or doctor if emotional or physical pain is evident. Sober Coaching is often used in conjunction with therapy, but not as a replacement for it. Sober Coaching separates itself from other healthcare professionals. A physician or nurse has expert knowledge and offers advice and diagnosis. Coaches do not diagnose or engage in counseling. Coaches & clients form partnerships that support & encourage their clients to come up with self driven solutions. Given the complexity of drug & alcohol (and other) addictions as compared to other maladies, the greatest chances for lasting sobriety, as well as quality sobriety, is to combine the clinical benefits of therapy along with the experiential & directional benefits of sober coaching.
Whether an individual is in active addiction, early recovery or has established long term sobriety & seeks to move to the next level of their recovery journey, sober coaches & sober companions can greatly help to achieve his or her goals.
