Why is Addictive Behaviour Coaching Relevant Right Now?
In our fast-paced, high reward, high dopamine fueled world, we are becoming increasingly prone to addictive behaviours and are living in a state of high arousal and chronic stress.
Where there is stress there are unhealthy coping strategies. Be it reaching for a glass of wine at the end of the day, scrolling on dating Apps, eBay shopping or gaming, in this era of unprecedented stress and the trappings of quick fixes and technology people are increasingly developing problem-atic and addictive habitual behaviours. This course will show you how to help your clients recognise and change those addictive habits and return to balance and wellbeing. With increasing awareness of these challenges, it is more important than ever to work with early stages of addictive behaviours and to help clients sustain change long term and this course is targeted specifically at those areas.
“I would recommend this course to anyone even remotely interested in this area. I have come away full of excitement for my future coaching, and I am already using some of the tools and practices we learnt in my own life. There aren’t enough stars available to review just how good this course is.” - Sarah Newlands
