Understanding Your Inner Child and Overcoming Addiction : A Recovery Manual and Workbook Paperback / softback

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Inner Child Model™ for treating Addictive Behaviors, a trauma-based approach to the treatment of various addictions including alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex, spending, smoking, etc. Research indicates the onset of addiction originates in childhood trauma, inability to process emotional discomfort, and attachment disorders.

This book addresses each of these issues to assist individuals in overcoming the drivers of addictive behaviors.

But more importantly, provides solutions to help those who struggle to learn to manage their addiction.

It contains numerous case studies in which readers will see themselves and their stories throughout the pages and assists readers in generating a comprehensive recovery roadmap that will provide real-world solutions to staying one step ahead of their addiction.

This unique and interactive therapeutic approach empowers individuals by assisting them in understanding "why" they engage in addictive behaviors.

This book is written for anyone struggling with behavioral/substance addiction, their loved ones, and clinicians working in the field of addiction treatment.
