The Alcohol Therapy Handbook has been designed for anyone struggling with alcohol use or who has struggled in the past.
It is written in a Motivational Interviewing style, one of the key therapies used to support people with alcohol issues. It has been designed using a trauma-informed approach and is strength–based.
What you will find in this book is more than just worksheets about alcohol. You’ll find all the tools someone needs to get into recovery from alcohol and stay there. It’s a therapy-based book, not an alcohol-based book.
Some of its content includes: alcohol education, your life story, your traumas, what you can control, assertiveness and boundaries, life purposes, goal setting, self-care, self-awareness, strengths, your support networks, healthy and unhealthy relationships, work around core beliefs and irrational beliefs, emotions (including how to deal with difficult emotions), coping strategies, building confidence and self-esteem and maintaining motivation.
