Clinician’s Corner

What is the “Clinician’s Corner?”

At the end of each chapter in my book The Recovery Cycle, exercises and questions are provided in a box titled Clinician’s Corner. This special area is for clinicians or anyone interested in recovering from any addiction, and is geared toward those who want a meaningful, lasting transformation.

I suggest clinicians do the exercises and answer the questions first (before giving the work to their clients) so they can lead the way with more clarity, care, and empathy.

For the goal of aiding clients to access their own agency in recovery and living the life they want, my book offers:

  • Exercises for mental health professionals/drug counselors to give to their clients

  • Evidence-based studies supporting elements of the Recovery Cycle

  • A stellar note/citation section, leading readers to these studies and other relevant resources

  • Bibliotherapy for recovering people 

  • A psychoeducational tool where clients can see at-a-glance where they are in the recovery process, and what options they have for any life challenge

  • The value of secondary addictions and what to do about them

  • Practical tips for intimate relating

This unique approach shows clinicians how to create a safe psychological space to give recovering people permission to be, feel, think, and share in their own way –and live the life they want - which any good therapist will help clients do.

P.S. The book outlines the recovery process for recovery for both substance and process (behavioral) addictions, secondary addictions and attachment challenges.
