A Woman's Addiction Workbook: Your Guide to In-Depth Healing - Softcover
Book 9 of 114: New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook
Synopsis
Women and girls are now becoming addicted at greater rates than ever before, and until very recently women in recovery were dependent on treatment models based solely on work with men.
Harvard addiction and trauma expert Lisa M. Najavits offers this step-by-step program to help women overcome the often-overlooked problems associated with their drug and alcohol addictions, such as body image, trauma and violence, relationships, stress, and thrill-seeking. She explores how women differ from men in their addiction and recovery, and adapts this information to help you embark on your journey to healing. A chapter on co-occurring emotional problems allows you to evaluate whether you have any of the key disorders common among women with addiction, such as depression, post-traumatic stress, eating disorders, or phobias.
With this strengths-building workbook, begin to come to terms with your personal addiction story. Healing exercises in four areas--feelings, beliefs, action, and relationships--help women build self-respect. Exercises include "Listen to That Small Quiet Voice," "Extreme Self-Care," "Self-Soothing," "Become Friends with Women," "Rethink," "Take Charge," "Share Responsibility," and "Mourn." In addition to these exercises and techniques, the book offers valuable resources of recovery support information.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. This breakthrough new treatment approach by a Harvard psychologist and trauma and addiction expert offers a step-by-step program to help women overcome the often-overlooked core problems that drive their drug and alcohol addictions. Women and girls are now becoming addicted at greater rates than at any other time at history-and until very recently women in recovery were dependent on treatment models based solely on work with men. Harvard addiction and trauma expert Lisa Najavits contends that women often stay addicted because of core, untreated problems that then underlie their addiction. Najavits has now developed a breakthrough new treatment model for women based on specific factors underlying women's addiction and on elements vital to their recovery. In this strengths-building workbook, women pinpoint their core problems and take steps to come to terms with their personal addiction stories. Through exercises that help them overcome these deep-seated problems and break the cycle of "using to forget," readers begin to build newfound strengths and self-respect and go on to learn how to tolerate distress, endure being alone, reach out to others, express needs, and set boundaries. A final chapter offers advice on getting help and a directory of recovery options. Seller Inventory # 00102579110
