Addiction to Adaptation – The Practice of Reframing Recovery

Bruce Whittemore is a Holistic Recovery Coach, Advanced Certified EFT Practitioner, and experienced in Matrix Reimprinting and Parts Work. He helps people in recovery transform limiting beliefs and repetitive compulsive behaviors by creating a safe, grounded space to explore what lies beneath. His work is rooted in the principles of self-awareness, embodiment, curiosity, and compassion — guiding clients toward peace, resilience, and fulfillment.

With over 30 years in active recovery, Bruce draws deeply from his own life experience, reframing addiction not as a disease, but as an adaptive survival strategy born from pain and disconnection. His approach invites individuals to see recovery not as returning to who they were, but as a path of integration, healing, and growth.

Bruce also works with men around relationship, sexuality, and emotional connection, helping them live wholehearted, embodied lives.

In addition to coaching, Bruce is a passionate speaker. His talk Addiction to Adaptation – The Practice of Reframing Recovery challenges outdated models of addiction and introduces a compassionate, neuroscience-informed lens rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic tools like EFT.

Bruce holds an MBA and brings more than three decades of business leadership experience, blending practical insight with emotional depth and spiritual presence.
