In this digital course, you will follow 5 people who are struggling with drinking related thoughts and behaviors as they are coached in a group setting over four weeks.
Dr. Amy Johnson supports the group as they come to see themselves and their habits in a radically new way. Amy will also debrief each group coaching session (without the participants present), pulling out key themes and things to take note of from each session.
If you are struggling with over-drinking or any unwanted behavior, watching other people being coached through their experience is an incredible way to see more of yourself.
You get over 10 hours of content in this course.
In the Freedom From Over-Drinking
Course, You’ll See More About:
What all people, all thoughts, and all habits have in common. You’ll see more about why we have habits like overdrinking, how these habits begin, and what allows for them to fall away.
Specific issues that often come up around drinking such as guilt, shame and regret; loneliness; and dealing with the physical aspects of urges to drink and the physical aftermath of overdrinking.
The ways in which we’ve been conditioned to associate alcohol with relaxation and being social and fun, and how we can see through that conditioning.
How emotional discomfort and urges to overdrink are actually helpful pointers back toward your innate peace of mind.
The simple misunderstandings that underlie all “over-ing” habits, and the truth beyond those misunderstandings.
And much, much more

What’s Inside
Freedom From Over-Drinking:
Video 1 – Introduction
Dr. Amy shares information about how the five participants were chosen, her philosophy around helping people find freedom from over-drinking and other behavioral habits, and her expectations.
Video 2 – Session #1
In our first session, the group members introduce themselves and share their experience with over-drinking. Most group members describe the “tug-of-war” of wanting so badly to drink and also wanting so badly not to.
Video 3 – Session #1 Discussion
Amy shares her observations and comments on the first group session
Video 4 – Session #2
The participants come to our second session with less self-judgment. They discuss the fact that alcohol doesn’t do what we think it does; that we’re conditioned to reach for things we think will help us feel a particular way.
Video 5 – Session #2 Discussion
Amy shares her observations and comments on the second group session.
Video 6 – Session #3
In our third session, a much deeper conversation begins to emerge. The group talks about how feelings, moods and urges are always moving on their own. They discuss the fact that our experience is not personal.
Video 7 – Session #3 Discussion
Amy shares her observations and comments on the third group session.
Video 8 – Session #4
By our fourth session, the group is feeling much more relaxed about their habits. Most of them have experienced some behavior change, but even more than that, they are seeing things in a more hopeful, less fearful way.

Amy shares her observations and comments on the fourth group session.
Video 10 – Four-Week Follow-up
Four weeks after our last group coaching session, we meet again for a 60-minute follow-up. The participants give updates on how the past month has gone for them since the course ended.
Video 11 – Follow-up Discussion
Amy shares her observations and comments on the four-week follow-up session, as well as some closing remarks and how you can get more support.
“I had made the decision to reduce my level of alcohol consumption, mainly for health reasons, but found that I was not succeeding through willpower alone.
Through Amy’s course I gained understanding to help me not only overcome the drinking issue, but also develop a deeper feeling of peace. Together with this increased relaxation, I now sense the potential for so much more to come.”
