What is the Freedom Model’s Coaching Method and
Why is it so effective?
Completely non-judgmental: when people feel judged and judge themselves, this can block them from being able to solve their problem.
Our Comprehensive Learning Products: People have various learning styles and aptitudes. The Freedom Model has developed learning products to fit each individual and meet them where they are. These learning and support tools enhance coaching sessions making them much more productive.
Some people are auto-didactic, meaning they can learn and internalize the solution to addiction through reading our book, The Freedom Model for Addictions: Escape the Treatment and Recovery Trap. Others learn the solution by watching our pre-recorded video tutorials through the Freedom Model Online Program or The Solution To Addiction Workshops. Still others learn most effectively through a private discussion with a knowledgeable person - a Freedom Model Coach.

2. The Teaching Technique – The Socratic Method
All FM Sessions are based on the Socratic Method. Meaning, we will ask a lot of questions as a means to problem-solve issues. As Mark Scheeren, Freedom Model’s Co-Founder says when working the first few sessions with a student, “We will need to build your puzzle. Try to remember, you’ve lived with yourself, well, since your beginning – I’m here just learning about you. So I’ll have to ask a lot of questions to build the puzzle. And then I’ll ask more questions that will facilitate self-discovery. This is known as the Socratic Method, and it works.” In a Socratic Method session the student and teacher build a comfortable dialogue that allows for the student to learn by his/her own cognitive processes, not by the teacher leading, coercing or manipulating.
