Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Viktor Frankl

Are you struggling to get sober and stay sober? Have you issues with relapsing?

SoberOasis Transformation Coaching provides on-going guidance, mental fitness training, practical assistance, and encouragement, as you reboot your recovery or build the bridge between formal treatment for addiction and the challenges of re-integration into everyday life.

Successful transformation processes comprise 20% insights and 80% practice. In recognition of this, we immediately establish an App-supported Mental Fitness (PQ) practice, maintaining and expanding this daily practice over an initial period of 8 weeks. This forms the foundation on which further inner work and a life of sustained sobriety is built, free from substance and/or process addictions.

Breaking the grip of an addiction is not merely the act of refraining from the addictive substance or behavior.

There is a process of identifying, understanding, and healing the underlying emotional issues that drive us towards addictive behaviors in the first place.

The active addict is constantly hijacked by impulses.

As Mental Fitness grows, the space between stimulus and response gradually expands through daily practice. We train the mental muscles just as we would train our physical bodies. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions become less reactive to hidden impulses and more responsive to our growing conscious awareness.

Once the fog of active addiction begins to lift, clients identify and work through the deep transformational inner work which beckons. This phase begins as soon as abstinence has been achieved. Getting at the root of these underlying issues allows us to grow towards Emotional Sobriety which is then maintained and sustained with the help of the regular daily practice, which becomes a practice for life.

Vision

Living in long-term recovery has given me a passion for helping kindred spirits reach their full potential by liberating themselves from the bondage of addiction and transcending its underlying causes. My approach is empathic, collaborative, and pragmatic; it draws upon my own lived experience of addiction & recovery and today’s best recovery practice, – tried and tested, evidence-based, innovative, and holistic.

Mission

My mission is to support clients in their personal transformation towards a healthy, more balanced, and peaceful life, much as the midwife supports the birthing process. This transformation is achieved by the client identifying and evaluating the relationship with addictive dynamics, untangling themselves from ingrained impulsive reactivity, addressing any unfinished business concerning trauma, growing in Mental Fitness, and establishing a daily practice designed to achieve Emotional Sobriety.

By tapping into our innate healing powers, we can establish a practice of self-care, develop new skills and coping mechanisms, foster resilience, access the power of community, imbue our lives with a purpose aligned with our deepest values, and thus achieve a greatly improved degree of well-being.

Values

Leading by Example: My on-going personal transformation experience guides my coaching approach. I cannot live your recovery but can support you in your unique process, providing a safe, fertile space for it to unfold. The activation of the immanent healing powers which reside in each and every one of us is the key to the success of this collaborative process.

Confidentiality & Trust: I uphold the highest standards of confidentiality to create a safe and trusting environment where clients feel secure in sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experience. Having myself gone through the hell of addiction and now the benefits of recovery, my approach to each client in one of loving-care and kinship, free of judgement, shame, and guilt.

Practice Makes Progress: Every successful transformation process comprises 20% insights underpinned by 80% practice. My approach is focussed on establishing a daily practice built upon a solid foundation of psycho-educational insights, the Positive Intelligence (PQ) Mental Fitness modality, and almost a century of shared experience in the global recovery movement.

Resilience: Sober living is a choice for life. As such it needs to become an integral part of our daily practice.

A daily Mental Fitness regime reduces impulsivity over time and builds resilience. As a key component of learning to live the life we love, Mental Fitness helps us navigate challenges effectively and bounce back faster from life’s inevitable setbacks, when they occur.

The Recovery Process

The process of recovery can be divided into four phases:

Based on my extensive coaching expertise in personal and professional development and my real-life experience of addiction and subsequent sober living, I share my experience, insights, resources, and practice with those looking to establish and maintain a life free of toxic substances (alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, opioids, prescription medication, etc.) and/or compulsive behaviours (gambling, porn, work addiction, and the like).

Testimonial

"When I first heard about PQ Mental Fitness Training with Patrick, I was skeptical. But this initial skepticism quickly turned into growing enthusiasm. The daily, practical exercises really make a difference in my life. The theoretical foundation of PQ Mental Fitness helped me fully understand and counteract the workings of my saboteurs. The change didn’t come like a landslide but rather piece by piece. With each day, my foundation became more stable. Patrick’s empathetic one-on-one coaching further deepened my insights. I’m now in the sixth month after the six-week training, and the daily practice has become a solid routine in my daily life. What has it brought me? I respond to setbacks much more calmly and have significantly increased my baseline happiness. Thanks to Patrick and his training, I feel mentally stronger and more balanced than ever before. It was a transformative experience that I can really recommend to everyone."

Personal Experience, Credentials

I specialise in quickly helping clients shift to a point of neutrality with respect to impulsiveness, – i.e., abstaining from addictive behaviours -, and then moving forward to address the underlying issues which threaten to keep us stuck or pull us back into the vicious cycle of addiction, all the while gradually enhancing Mental Fitness.

After 26 years of drinking alcoholically, and engaging in other substance and process addictions, I began my recovery in 2003.
