The best online addictions learning platform for addicts and their counselors
About us
The Unified Flux Model (UFM) was developed by Michael “Mental Mike” Pozesny as a revolutionary alternative to rigid, outdated, or overly faith-dependent addiction recovery models. Drawing from over 30 years of hands-on counseling experience with survivors of domestic violence, individuals with complex substance use disorders, and high-risk offenders across prisons, probation systems, and community reentry programs, Mike brings unmatched real-world insight to every course and session.
Holding four master’s degrees—including Criminal Justice (Substance Abuse focus), Psychology, Public Safety, and Adult Education, as well as a BA in Social and Behavioral Sciences, Mike has spent decades fusing academic knowledge with trauma-informed care. He is a certified International Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the state of Iowa and widely respected for his ability to connect with clients others have written off.
The UFM merges traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Transactional Analysis, Jungian Psychology, and cutting-edge Quantum Theory to create a transformative, integrative experience. It doesn’t just teach recovery - it awakens personal power. Every UFM course draws from this deep reservoir of lived experience, clinical expertise, and spiritual clarity to help students and clients rebuild their lives from the molecular level up.

Frequently asked questions
What is energy-based recovery?
Energy-based addiction recovery is an integrative therapeutic approach that conceptualizes addiction not solely as a neurochemical disorder or behavioral pathology, but as a fundamental disruption in an individual’s energetic coherence—meaning the harmony between the mind, body, spirit, and relational field. It draws upon principles from neurobiology, quantum physics, trauma-informed psychology, and spiritual traditions to treat addiction as both a physiological condition and an energetic misalignment.
Recent scholarship supports this synthesis:
van der Kolk (2021) emphasizes the role of the body and nervous system in trauma healing, which aligns with energetic regulation. Porges’ Polyvagal Theory (Porges, 2022) describes how safety, connection, and physiological state drive behaviors, including addictive responses—mirroring the energy-based understanding of dysregulation.

At its core, this model asserts that substances are used to modulate, escape, or repair disrupted energetic states resulting from trauma, disconnection, or existential despair. Recovery, then, becomes not just abstinence but a process of energetic restoration—realigning the individual’s vibrational frequency with their authentic self, re-establishing nervous system regulation, and reintegrating suppressed or fragmented aspects of identity.
Modalities within this framework may include somatic therapies, breathwork, chakra and meridian balancing, guided meditation, quantum visualization, and interpersonal resonance practices. Energy-based addiction recovery recognizes that healing is not achieved through willpower alone, but through reconnection to the flow of life, often referred to in systems like the Unified Flux Model (UFM) as the “Flux”—the universal energy network of being.
This perspective expands the recovery paradigm beyond pathology into transformation, where sobriety is not the end goal but the byproduct of coherence, purpose, and vibrational integrity.

Emerging research on biofield science and integrative medicine (Jain et al., 2023) provides a foundation for using subtle energy fields in clinical healing contexts.

What Makes UFM Different?
Most existing recovery frameworks fall into one of the following categories:
Medical/Clinical Models (e.g., ASAM, MAT, CBT-based rehab)
Focus: Biological and psychological pathology (dopamine, trauma, learned behavior)
Tools: Pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, behavior modification
Limitation: Lacks spiritual and energetic depth; often disembodied or over-medicalized
12-Step Models (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous)
Focus: Surrender to a Higher Power, moral inventory, peer support
Tools: Meetings, sponsors, spiritual principles
Limitation: Lacks somatic, neurobiological, and trauma-resolution tools; often guilt-driven
Holistic Models (e.g., mindfulness-based, somatic experiencing, yoga recovery)
Focus: Mind-body integration, lifestyle change, nervous system regulation
Tools: Meditation, diet, movement, trauma processing
Limitation: Fragmented or generalized without a cohesive energetic-unity framework
The Unified Flux Model (UFM) distinguishes itself from other addiction recovery models through its integration of quantum energetics, trauma-informed neuroscience, and spiritual coherence, forming a multidimensional system that treats addiction not merely as a behavioral or chemical problem, but as a distortion in a person’s energetic alignment with existence itself.

What Makes UFM Special?
1. UFM sees addiction as an energetic collapse, not just a symptom.
Rather than treating addiction as a disease or moral failing, UFM frames it as a disruption in one’s vibrational integrity - the misalignment between molecular selfhood and the universal Flux. Recovery is not about simply quitting substances; it is about restoring energetic truth.
2. UFM merges quantum science and psychology without contradiction.
UFM draws from quantum field theory, trauma neurobiology, and spiritual traditions, showing how every thought, action, and substance alters our energetic imprint. It acknowledges that you are a constellation of borrowed molecules, temporarily coalesced into form, and that healing requires aligning these molecules with their highest frequency.
3. UFM gives people a new identity: The Pathfinder.
In UFM, people in recovery are not “addicts,” “clients,” or “defective.” They are Pathfinders - those brave enough to consciously realign their energy with the universal Flux. This identity invites dignity, agency, and purpose. It is a spiritual evolution, not a life sentence.
4. UFM addresses coherence across all systems: cellular, emotional, social, and cosmic.
No other model offers an equally layered analysis of how addiction distorts internal energy, social resonance, intergenerational transmission, and even quantum timelines. The UFM bridges micro-molecular reality with macro-ethical responsibility.
5. UFM creates an emotionally compelling recovery narrative.
Whereas other models may feel clinical, punitive, or vague, UFM tells a coherent and motivational story: You are not broken. You are misaligned. And realignment is your sacred task.
