In this podcast episode, Dr. Leeds interviews David and Susan Kenney from Emergo Academy.
The Kenneys discuss their coaching, training, certification, and education company, Emergo Academy. They specialize in helping people become recovery coaches and offer an international certification in recovery coaching. The Kenneys explain their brain-first approach to lasting recovery, which focuses on the five principles of physiological, psychology, spirit, connections, and lifestyle.
They emphasize the importance of understanding the brain’s role in addiction and how it drives behavior. They debunk the idea that external methods like medications or stimulating the vagus nerve can effectively rewire the brain. Instead, they advocate for an experiential therapy approach that helps individuals release trauma and rewire their brains through action.
The Kenneys also address misconceptions about addiction treatment and highlight the need for more specialized, certified recovery coaches within the healthcare system. They stress that recovery is a lifelong journey and aim to provide hope by focusing on individualized life plans rather than relapse prevention programs.
The episode concludes with a discussion about their upcoming book “Actualized Recovery” and their goal to train 1,000 actualized recovery coach warriors within three years to make a significant impact on addiction recovery.
