Infos

For women in recovery from addictions to alcohol, drugs, food, and compulsive behaviors, this painful self-criticism goes even deeper.. Many of us have endured some sort of trauma at a critical point in our development, often at the hands of someone we trusted.. Our fear and our pain and our shame saturate the very core of our being, shaping our decision, coloring our relationships and defining who we think we are--sometimes even after years of being clean and sober.

Until we untangle the web of hurtful and damaging emotions that prevent us from seeing ourselves clearly, that believe will prevent us from achieving our full potential or recognizing our true value as a unique, worthwhile person.

The Recovering Heart: emotional Sobriety for Women, is offered as a companion for your journey, not to provide answers-those you will discover for yourself--but to suggest avenues of exploration and to share the experiences of others on the same path.
