Showing results for "Michael" in Addiction & Recovery

The exercises in this workbook are based in proven-effective emotionally focused therapy (EFT)-an innovative approach for transforming the pain of addiction into a sense of love, community, and connection. Step by step, you'll build a solid foundation of self-compassion to help you heal from the underlying causes that drove you to self-medicate in the first place. Instead of trying to dull the pain at the core of your addiction, you'll discover how to develop a safety net of relationships to protect you.
