This manual presents the first empirically studied, integrative treatment approach developed specifically for co-occurring PTSD and substance abuse. For persons with this prevalent and difficult-to-treat dual diagnosis, the most urgent clinical need is to establish safety--to work toward discontinuing substance use, letting go of dangerous relationships, and gaining control over such extreme symptoms as dissociation and self-harm. The manual is divided into 25 specific units or topics, addressing a range of different cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal domains. Each topic provides highly practical tools and techniques to engage patients in treatment; teach "safe coping skills" that apply to both disorders; and restore ideals that have been lost, including respect, care, protection, and healing. Structured yet flexible, topics can be conducted in any order and in a range of different formats and settings. The volume is designed for maximum ease of use with a large-size format and helpful reproducible therapist sheets and handouts, which purchasers can also download and print at the companion webpage. See also the author's self-help guide Finding Your Best Self, Revised Edition: Recovery from Addiction, Trauma, or Both, an ideal client recommendation.

If you have asked yourself any of these questions, then you have found the book you are looking for. There are answers to all of these questions and Anderson Silver has compiled teachings from Stoicism and other schools of thought in Your User's Manual. This refreshing collection not only gives the reader much sought after answers, but also provides the tools for finding purpose, and living an anxiety-free life in the modern world. Meant as a light read that the reader can come back to and meditate on periodically, Anderson has done a wonderful job of condensing fundamental teachings, making Your User's Manual a straightforward read in answering life's most pressing questions and recognizing what is truly important.

The Psychic & Spiritual Awareness Manual is aimed at people who wish to develop their psychic and spiritual awareness in a very practical way. Although organically linked, each chapter deals with a separate aspect of development and also acts as a diagnostic empowering tool. It is a companion to the teacher and student of these disciplines alike and is based around the Spiritualist and New Age approach to full realisation. It fills the gap left by so many books written by people who are not true, experienced practitioners or adepts in these fields. This book is filled with helpful exercises and hands-on useful techniques designed to empower the reader and awaken within them a sense of who, what, why, where and how they are. The chapters include lessons and writings on healing, meditation, psychic awareness, clairvoyance, psychometry, scrying, psychic and spiritual philosophy, colours, auras and their energies, sitting in circle, and much more. This book is not a narrative - it is a manual.
