R2R has 16 coaches nationwide and can provide both face-to-face and video coaching. Clients have direct access to their coach and R2R works at your pace. Sessions are long – typically 2 hours face-to-face and at least one hour by video.
Clients are not required to re-live trauma or any event that causes them immediate pain. Coaches will change the meaning clients are making about events in the past or what might happen in the future. If the meaning can be changed then the feeling will change.
There is no assessment as befits a non-clinical approach. If clients want help then they get help.
R2R cannot work with anyone who has a serious addiction dependency.
