Addiction is often triggered by loneliness, trauma, or loss, yet many traditional treatments fail to uncover the root cause, and focus instead on managing addictive behaviors-with varying degrees of success. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) provides readers with the tools they need to heal the emotional pain and isolation that addiction desperately attempts to soothe. Readers will also learn essential skills for building a sense of belonging and safety with the ones they love-so they can lean into community and connection instead of drugs and alcohol.

Heal the pain at the root of your addiction with this comprehensive, evidence-based workbook.If you struggle with substance abuse, you may have intense feelings of loneliness, isolation, and disconnection. You may feel uncomfortable asking others for help. And when faced with difficult emotions, it's easy to fall into the habit of numbing and avoiding emotional pain with drugs and alcohol, which can leave you feeling even more shame and despair. So, how do you break this cycle and create real connections that will reward you with relief, belonging, and a sense of safety?The skills and exercises in this user-friendly workbook are based in proven-effective emotionally focused therapy (EFT)-an innovative approach for transforming the pain of addiction into a sense of love, community, and connection. Step by step, you'll build a solid foundation of self-compassion to help you heal from the underlying causes that drove you to self-medicate in the first place. Instead of turning to drugs and alcohol to dull the pain at the core of your addiction, you'll discover how to develop a safety net of life-affirming relationships to protect and support you.As you work through the exercises, you'll gain essential skills to manage your emotions and form meaningful connections with others. The more emotionally fluent you become, the more you'll learn to rely on your support network in times of distress-and the less likely you'll be to reach for substances. As you remove the obstacles that block healthy connection to others, you'll begin to resolve the pain buried deep within, and replace your addiction with a reliable, caring connection with others-and with yourself!If you're done searching for emotional relief in drugs and alcohol, let this friendly guide point you on the path to true recovery and belonging. Go ahead, take the first step.
