online book store. We currently have supplies of books ready
for shipment which cover topics our clients have found to
be a useful aid to therapy. A child raising book
like Raising Self-Reliant Children in a Self-Indulgent
World, by Jane Nelsen can be a great asset to you home
library. The books on addictionwe have chosen
can be a valuable asset when used in conjunction with counseling
services for children and adolescents, marriage and family
counseling, individual and couples therapy, as well as treatment
for addictive illnesses. These and many other therapy services
are available at both of our offices and through online
counseling.
The books
on addiction will dove tail the material you are familiar
with in 12 Step program literature. The works of John Powell
have been a great inspiration to us personally and most
helpful in working with our clients suffering with addiction
and looking for ways of enhancing their personal growth.
In the section on Meditation and 12 Step guides you
will find a growing selection of material designed to guide
you through actions associated with developing a firm spiritual
basis to your recovery and successfully negotiate your way
through the 12 Steps. The series ofmeditation
bookswe are creating will be available in the
months to come. The first edition is entitled One In
the Spirit: A course in meditations for recovering couples.
The meditation books that are under development
will deal with relationships with support group, family
members and parent-child relationships.
The parenting
section features a number of excellent texts for improving
your child rearing skills and understanding the meaning
behind your child's most challenging behaviors. We are sure
that you will find a child raising book to help you
with the challenges you are facing. A child raising
book, like Children the Challenge, by Rudolph
Dreikurs can help you unravel the mystery of parenting.
Raising a child can be one of life's most difficult and
rewarding tasks.
The meditation
books featured are a selection of our favorites. The
Series we have designed is new and intensely practical.
Our guides direct your attention to the spiritual and emotional
needs of intimate relationships and are closely aligned
with the tenants of 12 Step recovery programs. The
meditation books provide many different ways to examine
life and relationships in your day to day walk.
Our staff
is a highly trained clinical team with proven expertise
in treating the following problem areas: drug and alcohol
addiction, codependency, gambling addiction, eating disorders,
and sexual addiction. Services are available in individual, group,
and online counseling settings to addresses the needs of
individuals seeking help in the areas of marriage and family
counseling as well as child and adolescent counseling.
Our online counseling model for addressing addiction counseling
problems is compatible with the tenants of all 12 Step
programs. Please see our link to Treatment of Addictive
Behaviors for a full review of the recovery models we support.

book store offerings will include materials that the Professional
Training Division is selecting to support professional growth
and development. Materials selected will complement the
training events that we are planning. We are committed to
the provision of comprehensive continuing education programs
for professionals in the fields of education, health, and
human services that are certified by the applicable accrediting
body. We are currently offering a three part series entitled
Why Must They Suffer So Long? The program addresses
the problems encountered by parents and professionals seeking
to help children and adolescents who are at risk of developing
a harmful dependency on mood-altering substances. The training
promotes the use of intervention strategies based in the
rich experiences we have gained in our work with individuals
involved various 12 Step programs. Future programming
will focus on a task-centered model for treating individuals
suffering with Sexual Addictions.

Driven
To Distraction Edward M. Hallowel, MD and John J. Ratey, MD
This

This book helped to change our views.
