Sober Maintenance: Motivation, Mindfulness & Meaning
Addiction Recovery Coaching & Counselling Services Discrete-Personalized-Tailored
Virtual-In-home
Hi, I’m Trevor— Addiction Counsellor, Recovery Coach, Sober Companion.
Drawing from my own lived-experience, addictions are self-deceptive, self-defeating, self-destructive behaviors. It creates chaos and conflict in our lives; especially with our loved ones.
I've lived it, learned from it & now, I'm leading by example. My career goal is based on helping you build a proud, dignified, sustainable life in recovery.
Sober Maintenance:
Motivation, Mindfulness & Meaning:
blends neuroscience, mindfulness practices, trauma-informed care, psychology, philosophy, and more.
It is a committed, collaboration of hard work. There are no short cuts. This is not a cookie-cutter, fast food model. This is hard work.
We learn and build effective tools that enhance our cognitive fitness. We get mentally, physically & emotionally fit for the fight of our lives. Together, we create specialized, tailor-made programs that meet your comfort level. This individualized, intensive 1:1 support is for those who are determined and dedicated for real change.
We don’t run from the problem—we turn towards it. Together, we will confront the underlying issues, train the mind & brain and build a path forward with resilience, purpose, and transformation.
Please see my credentials on why I qualify.
This career transition into addiction coaching and counselling is my calling. I spent over 30 years working in casinos and gambling environments. I've observed problematic behavior and engaged in it myself, using and abusing substances from the age of 12 to 45. My life took a radical turn when I entered university at the age of 37. Addiction, however, remained. As a high school dropout with damaged neurological wiring, diagnosed learning disability, ADHD, and unresolved childhood trauma, I was a true underdog when it came to completing a university degree. I am living proof of neuroplasticity. Some people experience a spiritual awakening when they find sobriety, I found education later in life gaining knowledge, insight & wisdom. This is my spiritual awakening and it guided me towards the exploration of meaning. From childhood to adolescence and into adulthood, my life was riddled with addictions—not just alcohol and drugs. I don’t regret my past, I write about it—there were some great times. Today, the best times come from being there for others who want change and participating in their transformation. This is why I do this work- this will be my career til the day I die. My story was not intended to be using drugs and alcohol for 33 years, but I intended to change it. Now, I’m here to help you change yours. Let's write your story the way YOU want it.
Services
Sober Maintenance is a coaching program that offers 1:1 support in addiction education, using motivation, mindfulness and meaning. In Collaboration we get the work done. However, there is an expectation of commitment and dedication for this to work. Lukewarm effort is not acceptable and I will not waste your time or mine. The assessment process will determine the outcome.
Addiction is like parasitic process that takes over your life. No 'one shot' intervention works.
Recovery requires a multi-faucted approach to change neurological wiring, enhance cognitive flexibility and resolve trauma.
Embeded in the program are these three principles:
-
Motivation – building resilience, natural rewards, proactive accountability
-
Mindfulness – Shifting attention, rewiring neuronal activity and emotional regulation
-
Meaning – reconnecting to values, thinking and reasoning, conscious/unconscious processing
Overcoming Addiction is a Process of:
Self-Transformation, Self-Correction & Self-Transcendence
