A beautiful gift for oneself or others, this book will help open
the window and let in the light that will guide readers to finding
inner strength, wisdom, and serenity. The author, Claudia Black,
Ph.D. is the renowned expert, author, and researcher who pioneered
the field of family systems and addictive disorders.. The Wisdom of
Hope treats recovery as a holistic concept, so this book is perfect
for those in recovery from any manifestation of addiction,
behavioral (process) addictions, or childhood abuse or trauma..
Supports the development of twelve-step principles.
People in recovery from addiction need to be aware of the potential
for relapse and the range of challenges that can and, often do,
lead to it. To assume or simply hope it will not occur is denial. A
HOLE IN THE SIDEWALK can be used to help prevent relapse from all
forms of addiction - alcohol and other drugs, nicotine, sex, work,
spending, gambling, food and relationships. This workbook is a
robust tool for those who take their recovery seriously and want to
maximise their knowledge and take actions to minimise the
possibility of relapse. Whether or not someone has a history of
relapse or wants to be proactive in beginning to work on avoiding
potential stumbling blocks, this newly updated and revised workbook
can be a major asset. Each section of this knowledge and
skill-building workbook concludes with exercises for readers to
identify something for which they are grateful currently, as well
as to stop and reflect - on both the completed section and the day.
Acute trauma and addictive disorders are often a result of

healing.

In Changing Course, the best-selling sequel to It Will Never Happen
to Me, Claudia Black extends a helping hand to individuals working
through the painful experience of being raised with addiction in
the family. ""How do you go from living according to the rules -
Don't Talk, Don't Trust, Don't Feel - to a life where you are free
to talk and trust and feel?"" Dr. Black asks. ""You do this through
a process that teaches you to go to the source of those rules, to
question them, and to create new rules of your own,"" she explains.
Using charts, exercises, checklists, and real-life stories of adult
children of alcoholics, Dr. Black guides readers in healing from
the fear, shame, and chaos of addiction.
REPEAT AFTER ME offers help to those who were raised in
dysfunctional families characterised by abuse, addiction, other
compulsive behaviour or mental illness. This remarkable, self-help
workbook, takes the reader through a process of letting go of
hurtful beliefs and behaviour. While insight is often the precursor
to change, people need to develop skills that make change occur.
Adult children tend to repeat the life scripts of their challenged,
troubled families as a result of internalised beliefs and behaviour
that were either modelled for them or were a part of their survival
strategy. Dr. Claudia Black, world-renowned expert on dysfunctional
families, articulates a four step process for readers to heal the
wounds of their past: 1. Explore their past, for the purpose of
coming to terms with the losses and acknowledging the pain
associated with past history. 2. Connect the past history to
present day life. 3. Identify and challenge internalised beliefs,
differentiating between beliefs that are healthy and useful and
those that are self-defeating and need to be let go. 4. Learn and
practise skills, focusing on the basics such as learning to listen,
identifying needs and options, identifying and expressing feelings,
defining successes, establishing healthy boundaries, recognising
intrusive behaviour, creating healthy rituals, identifying
strengths and developing realistic expectations. This is an
excellent resource to aid therapists, counsellors and other
professionals in their work with clients to help them become aware
of how their family system affected them and how they can grow
beyond it.
