A note on how to use these.
These workbooks are written to support your own reflection. They are not a replacement for therapy, medical care or a recovery fellowship, and they are not a crisis service. If something surfaces while you are working through one of them and you would like to talk it through, you are welcome to arrange a free 15-minute call with me.
