An inclusive, research-based guide to working the 12 steps: a trauma-informed approach for clinicians, sponsors, and those in recovery.
Step 1: You admit that you're powerless over your addiction. Now what?
12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have helped countless people on the path to recovery. But many still feel that 12-step programs aren't for them: that the spiritual emphasis is too narrow, the modality too old-school, the setting too triggering, or the space too exclusive. Some struggle with an addict label that can eclipse the histories, traumas, and experiences that feed into addiction, or dismisses the effects of adverse experiences like trauma in the first place. Advances in addiction medicine, trauma, neuropsychiatry, social theory, and overall strides in inclusivity need to be integrated into modern-day 12-step programs to reflect the latest research and what it means to live with an addiction today.
Dr. Jamie Marich, an addiction and trauma clinician in recovery herself, builds necessary bridges between the 12-step's core foundations and up-to-date developments in trauma-informed care. Foregrounding the intersections of addiction, trauma, identity, and systems of oppression, Marich's approach treats the whole person--not just the addiction--to foster healing, transformation, and growth.
Written for clinicians, therapists, sponsors, and those in recovery, Marich provides an extensive toolkit of trauma-informed skills that:
• Explains how trauma impacts addiction, recovery, and relapse
• Celebrates communities who may feel excluded from the program, like atheists, agnostics, and LGBTQ+ folks
• Welcomes outside help from the fields of trauma, dissociation, mindfulness, and addiction research
• Explains the differences between being trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive; and
• Discusses spiritual abuse as a legitimate form of trauma that can profoundly impede spirituality-based approaches to healing.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Jamie Marich offers a compendium of practices that make using the twelve steps more
effective in sustaining recovery. There are suggestions for including expressive arts,
yoga breathing, meditation, prayer, and ceremony into the recovery plan. This book
belongs in the hands of everyone who serves those suffering from addiction." (Amy Weintraub, E-RYT-500, founder of LifeForce Yoga and author of Yoga for Depression)
"In this revised edition of Trauma and the 12 Steps, Marich updates and expands on her previous message on the importance of acknowledging the co-occurrence of problems with addictions with a history of trauma. This is a book that I will continue to wholeheartedly recommend!" (Christine A. Courtois, PhD, ABPP, author of Healing the Incest Wound)
"What I love most about this book is that it is built around a well-thought-out solution—one that is accessible and straightforward guided by years of collective wisdom and experience, and most especially pain—pain that is transformed into a whole new way of living." (Dan Griffin, MA, author of A Man’s Way through the Twelve Steps)

Better understanding of Trauma in Recovery

From my experience (similar to what the authors shared), the "problem" those of us with trauma history have is in the rigidness & intolerance of SOME members of the fellowship (not 12 Step programs) that insist they know it all & feel qualified to judge others who's experiences are different than their own. They insight that "you just need to pray about it" and it will disappear.
You need to feel it, to heal it. Avoiding the unpleasant feelings with spiritual bypassing platitudes is not "healing" (though it certainly DOES have some value in certain conditions).
This book is quite valuable for helping me deal with my own Complex PTSD, it's validating.
A plug for Dr Dansiger. He's a leading teacher & practioner for EMDR, so if you have interest in EMDR, research his works.
Very helpful healing within 12 Step structure

if The triggering of trauma is a main reason why many people cannot grasp and utilize a 12 step program , This book is the answer.
This book points to a bright new day for 12 step recovery programs.

The book covers the author's history in 12 step groups but doesn't really going into anything that would be useful in helping anyone heal. This book was a waste of my time. I purchased it with one of my Audible credits so there's no option to get my money back. Not sure what the author's purpose was in writing this.
If you're looking for a book to help with your own recovery from a history of trauma you better look elsewhere. This isn't the book you need. However, if you want to read a book about how 12 step groups could change to suit the author, this might be your book. It's not a bad book, but just not helpful for my journey..
If you are looking for a book to help you get past your trauma you should look elsewhere. The only reason I'm writing this review is to stop you from wasting a perfectly good book credit.
Not what I thought it would be
