A Different Approach to Recovery
Most recovery coaching focuses on timelines, symptoms, diets, supplements, and emotional support, often leaving people feeling more confused, frightened, and without direction. Many coaches become paid listeners or reinforce fear-based ideas about brain damage, long recovery timelines, and setbacks.
My coaching style is different. I focus on the process of healing: regulation, desensitization, building neuroplasticity, developing coping skills, and changing our relationship with fear. I teach from a Four-Stage Recovery Program (The North Star) with clear learning goals and roadblocks at each stage.
Students follow a Daily Checklist to build confidence, leadership, and neuroplasticity.
The goal isn’t just to stop medications. It’s to remain off the meds and have a quality of life afterward.
Additional support includes trauma-informed education, mindfulness training, and access to a positive online recovery school with video lessons, course materials, and weekly Zoom meetings.
Students also learn all about the Bear and how to befriend him.

TESTIMONIALS
I’m drawn to Powers' Method because it takes a genuinely positive and empowering approach to tapering and recovery. There’s a clear, practical framework for understanding and working with the nervous system, which makes the process feel far less overwhelming.
What also stands out is the community. The school is filled with supportive people who truly understand this journey, including Powers himself, which creates a sense of trust, consistency, and shared experience that is hard to find elsewhere. Thank you, David!"
