Mike Govoni: Somatic Experiencing | Trauma Healing | Recovery Coaching

August 01, 2021 • Jeff Simone • Season 1 • Episode 10

Episode 10 is an interview with the Integrative Recovery and trauma-informed Health and Wellness Coach, Mike Govoni.

Mike developed an opioid addiction at a young age, was introduced to recovery and has now been fully abstinent for 16 years.

Like so many others, Mike's journey into sobriety was met with a lot of difficulties of its own, and it wasn't until experiencing deep suffering years after ending the addiction that he was forced to confront and heal the traumas that were the original driving force of the pain and addictive behaviors.

Today Mike is passionate about helping people in recovery experience greater healing and transformation. His work includes but is not limited to working with people with severe symptoms of depression, anxiety, bi-polar and other common diagnoses co-occurring with substance abuse. He sees through the lens of trauma and believes helping people create a feeling of safety and connection within their own body is essential to becoming well and achieve long term recovery.

Mike believes in addressing the whole person, not only to achieve greater freedom and abstinence from substances and harmful habits, but to empower clients with tools and resources to meet everyday life with more inner resilience, presence, and ease. Mike brings empathy and compassion to his coaching and companion work and builds mutual respect and trust with his clients.
