Do No Harm: Transforming Addictions
Book Description
Do No Harm: Transforming Addictions is for people trapped in an addiction-- and for those that love them. It’s also geared for people in the helping professions. It covers all the major addictions, including internet addiction—which has now reached epidemic proportions.
Many books on addictions deal only with the symptoms. Do No Harm explores the underlying causes, aiming at a lasting recovery. Kobrin’s approach is holistic and comprehensive. “Addictions are an unconscious effort to survive a lack of meaning and purpose,” she explains. “When we’re lost in what I call ‘The Dark Spiral,’ we feel mundane and useless. The antidote for the Dark Spiral is ‘The Satisfied Soul’—positive connections with self and all aspects of life.” Do No Harm gives permission to step into rich, joyful and prosperous living. Readers may expect a transformation as they savor this book.
