Weekend in New England

September 27, 2008
I just returned a few days ago from Massachusetts (Cambridge, Concord and Amherst) where I presented at a conference and caught up with some old friends from college. Having graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst 20 years ago, I sometimes forget why part of my heart will always remain there, but this was a sweet reminder for me as I was greeted with a familiar embrace.
Last weekend I presented a workshop entitled From Now On: The 7 Keys to Purposeful Recovery at the annual conference of the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health in Cambridge, Massachusetts (home of Harvard and MIT). It was a really fun, exhilarating experience, and the presentation was well-received by all. As you know, one of my passions is to spread the word about how to integrate Recovery Coaching into the addiction recovery community and this was an opportunity to do just that. Although sexual recovery can be distinguished from chemical addictions in some ways, coaching can easily be introduced to this population, and I was proud to be one of the only coach/therapists presenting at this conference. My intention is to bring the workshop to as many addiction conferences as possible so I’ll be sure to keep you posted as things continue to unfold.
