Book Description
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.

Book Description
What does it mean to be wired differently? To be what experts describe as “neurodiverse”? Forever on Fire: A Love Letter to Never Fitting In explores these complex and sometimes confounding questions. Author Angela Taylor’s humanizing account of self-discovery offers a fresh perspective on how neurodiverse people aren’t “broken,” but in fact, have unique attributes and abilities that should be celebrated. Taylor, who is both neurodiverse and a longtime mental health and accessibility expert, shares personal anecdotes and journal entries, plus her own original poetry and artwork, to take readers deep inside her journey of discovery, healing, and supporting communities. This memoir is underpinned with research and expertise in this field, which helps unpack various types of neurodiverse challenges, root causes, medical interventions, and practical day-to-day coping methods. Forever on Fire is an inspirational midlife awakening about living your dreams while coping with trauma to find hope, understanding, and acceptance.
