If your clients grew up with adults with dependence or dysfunction, you already know how deep the patterns go. These workbooks offer a structured, practical way to move beyond survival and into real healing.

I grew up in the shadow of addiction and trauma. Breaking free took years of therapy, training, and healing work. Today, I’ve turned that lived experience into practical tools and workbooks—so you can help clients move past resistance and find lasting change.
