8 Ways to Wellbeing for Recovering People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983277620)

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLCs) identified in 8 Ways to Wellbeing for Recovering People are an under-utilized, but profoundly effective treatment for optimizing mental health and supporting recovery from most psychiatric issues, such as addiction, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and trauma. Based on the exhaustive research of Roger Walsh, M.D., Ph.D. At the University of CA at Irvine, these TLCs described and amplified in this workbook serve as core curriculum for inpatient or outpatient programs, as well as individual use.

Why "lifestyle changes?" Because research shows that Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes, such as changing one's diet, getting regular exercise, relaxation, healthy recreation, time outdoors in nature, fostering supportive relationships, a spiritual practice and service to others, can be enormously beneficial for both mental and physical health and wellbeing.

TLC's can help with addiction and reduce the risk of relapse. Of course, Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes are not the whole answer; no one thing is. However, they are a very valuable and proven modaity in recovery treatment.

Dr. Weedn's 8 Ways Workbook brings TLC's to the recovering person through an easy to use, yet very effective means; a well thought out road map towards positive change that supports recovery on many levels.
