This week on Cracking Addiction we talk with Psycologist and Author Dr Laura Petracek.

We explore the principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and how they can be applied to the 12 Steps of addiction recovery.

Recovering from addiction and managing a mental illness can be challenging and often feels like they take over your life. However, with the right tools and strategies, you can regulate your emotions, develop self-management skills, reduce anxiety and stress, and feel like yourself again.

DBT is a type of talking therapy that is specifically tailored to individuals who feel emotions very intensely. Her workbook takes the skills and strategies drawn from DBT and applies them to each of the 12 Steps of addiction recovery. This new roadmap helps reduce emotional distress symptoms, supports sobriety, and promotes overall mental health.

By exploring the connection between DBT and the 12 Steps, this workbook equips you with the tools to manage your emotions and navigate your journey to recovery. If you're looking for a practical and effective approach to manage your mental health while recovering from addiction, this workbook is the perfect resource for you.
