Intensive Individual Coaching

After an extensive psychological case history workup , we will develop an individual course of action for you. This will allow you to make best use of your opportunities in life, regain choices and develop behavioral flexibility and free yourself from the invisible shackles of addiction. 

The signals of your body and your soul will help you find ways of reaching solutions for your personal challenges. Our approach is generally source-oriented and based on your abilities and your experience of life.

Important elements of our work include finding suitable strategies for your daily life, looking for your individual purpose in life and creating a new self-consciousness in the sense of being conscious of your self without numbing yourself with work and /or alcohol.

Concerning alcohol

Many people believe that life without alcohol has to be bleak and boring („I can no longer afford that delight“). They want to try to henceforth be „sober and sensible“ all the time and this leads them to run away from „temptation“ for the rest of their lives. Life is much easier, however, if this so-called temptation becomes less and less important, if you are able to enjoy your life without alcohol, feeling joy, grief and sorrow and overcoming pain and find fulfillment

Dr Coletta Damm also lives without this drug sanctioned by society without „having“ to do so – “what should I have alcohol for?” Life is at least as much fun without it! Or do you think you were less able to feel joy or to relax when you were a child? You are able to find a way back to this joie de vivre that was there at the beginning if you are ready to open up to our joint work and to discover how it can benefit you.

„Withdrawal“ is emotional work and it is about changing some of your beliefs. Technical lectures and films are of little help. We work with you – each of us in our own way- to ensure that you can reconnect with yourself and make healthy decisions for your life.

Concerning burnout

Work is half of life, they say in German. However, sometimes it seems to gradually take over all of your life. If you love your work, you are particularly exposed to this problem: You are moving around in a limited sphere (e.g. that of planes, hotels, conference rooms…etc.) without noticing that you are gradually becoming a prisoner, having lost your grounding, and that your effectiveness has already started to slacken. Time off work is considered as unpleasantly void and meaningless and cannot really be enjoyed. People then sometimes try alcohol as a remedy, or tablets that are supposed to lift their mood, or they make sure they are constantly busy.

The Japanese healing practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu points out that a person is not a „human doing“ but a „human being“. Unfortunately, people often confuse being busy with feeling alive and then the inner burnout starts.

If some bigger personal or professional problem arises in that kind of situation, if for example your partner threatens to leave you or your efforts at work are not appreciated sufficiently, burnout becomes apparent.

We are happy to help you find the „lost part of your soul“ again.

Online Coaching via „Zoom“

We have been accompanying former guests through the phone, whatsapp or via email for a long time. Skype was technically not ideal, however, Zoom offers a great alternative and allows for video calls to take place without any disruptions.

An initial phone consultation is free of charge. Each coaching session (one hour) via the phone or via Zoom costs 80 Euros plus VAT. We will agree on the frequency of your coaching sessions together. Send us an email to info@vida-libre.org and we will arrange an appointment.
