Other Trauma and addiction resources?

[ILoveLife]

Hi everyone

I'm currently reading "Recovery from Trauma and Addiction" by Lisa Najavits, and while it's good.. I feel it's a "level 1" kind of thing, for folks who haven't started recovery for neither or are just in the beginning, and are just figuring out they have either trauma, some addiction or both.

I'm wondering if anyone has any good resources to recommend.
I've already ordered a bunch of books, workbooks and I'm also doing SMART recovery, but would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you! :)

Hi @Sietz did you find anything useful?

Not really. Found a bunch of videos and stuff but no better books.

SMART workbooks are good. I like the page that uses faces to describe emotions.

How about DBT CBT resources?

I found Jack Kornfield's A Path with Heart helpful too.

Secret Survivors by E Sue Bloom has helped me a lot and I am currently reading The Courage to Heal, A Guide for Women Survivors of Sexual Abuse by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis. That is also an amazing and helpful and insightful book.
