Going Against the Grain: A Formula to Change and Reverse Self-Destructive Behaviors

This book is a culmination of the thirty years that the author spent helping clients change and reverse their self destructive behaviors. The formula presented in this book was formed as a result of helping clients understand how trauma affected their behavior and what needed to be done to reverse and change unhealthy behavior. Mark Adams witnessed those changes among his clients and was therefore able to personally construct the formula presented in this book for all to use.
