The Difference Between Addiction Counseling and Maintenance Coaching
*Addiction Counseling
Addiction counseling focuses on helping the patient maintain sobriety during the first few weeks and months of early recovery. The usual topics could include dealing with cravings, establishing boundaries, building support, education on the disease of addiction, relapse prevention, and managing feelings. Sessions can occur several times a week, once a month, or anything in between depending on need. The main goal here is learning to avoid substance abuse on a daily basis.
*Remission Maintenance Coaching
Once the substance use disorder is in remission, the emphasis shifts to maintaining a quality recovery lifestyle and improving overall emotional well-being. The goal is to keep the disease of substance use disorder dormant by avoiding a relapse back to substance abuse. Coaching will often address issues such as relationships, finances, employment, as well as living with purpose, passion and peace through the art of struggle reduction. Sessions occur one time per week, bi-monthly, monthly, or as needed, for up to a year or longer.

Video Counseling for Patients Taking Suboxone as Part of Their Treatment.
Both Federal and Tennessee state guidelines recognize the importance of addiction counseling for patients taking Suboxone. The guidelines suggest a minimum of one counseling session per month for the duration of treatment. Tom Diffenderfer understands the benefits of Suboxone maintenance while helping patients adjust their thinking and behaviors that became impaired during active addiction.

A Unique Approach to Managing Stress and Anxiety
The struggle reduction workbook
|
|
|
"Peace is a natural state, and when the mind is settled, peace exists. So, what causes the mind to become unsettled? Many forms of negative thinking and self-talk, irrational thoughts, worry, fear, obsessive guilt and shame, envy and jealously—simply put, it is our own internal struggle that kidnaps our minds from the awareness of peace. So, the question is not how one finds peace, but instead, how does one reduce struggle. For the last 25 years I have been helping clients increase the awareness of peace in their lives by decreasing the struggle that creates anxiety and stress. I call this The Art of Struggle Reduction." |

Cured a Migraine better than medication.
"I felt a migraine coming on and lied down with an ice pack, eye mask and zoned out to this cd. The migraine then dissipated throughout the day instead of turning evil on me. I also use it for insomnia. I have many other relaxation cds, this hypnosis one works the best."

Amazing help with Chemo anxiety!!!
"I have someone who is undergoing Chemo and is suffering from severe anxiety. He had tried everything available from anxiety meds, nausea meds, and smoking materials and nothing had helped. He is using these meditation recordings 2 times a day and it has been incredible. He is no longer using medication or anything else. The mind is very powerful, even with Chemo. This really works."
