The Power of The Brain-First Approach in Recovery Coaching

Your brain is the center of your being. It controls everything you think, do, and feel. When your brain experiences physical or emotional distress or trauma, it causes your autonomic nervous system to react and can create imbalances in how your brain functions. This can lead to self-destructive behavior, substance use, overwhelm, and chaos. This presentation will help attendees gain deep knowledge and understanding of how the brain drives behavior. Self-destructive choices, substance use, and drifting in life are not about a moral failing or character defect. It is not a lack of willpower—it is all about brain power. We will lead you through a practical journey with easy to implement skills that you can apply to your coaching or peer support efforts to create deep and lasting impact.
