Recovery Integrated with a Soulful start to work ahead of Understanding, Grounding & Preparing for Change: The Recovery Blueprint: Empowering the ... Vogue Wellness Recovery Series - Book 1) Paperback – May 30, 2025

by Ms. Nicole Brooks PSS/LC (Author)

Related to: Vitality Vogue Wellness Recovery Series - Book 1


Recovery Integrated: A Soulful Start to the Work Ahead is a foundational guidebook designed to ground, educate, and inspire individuals before they begin the deeper work of healing. Serving as a companion and introduction to the Recovery Integrated Recovery Workbook, this book helps readers understand the core elements of Recovery—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—before taking action. Each chapter in this guide highlights vital topics, such as anxiety, coping skills, gratitude, boundaries, communication, and more, presented in a clear and supportive tone. The chapters are intentionally short and focused on preventing overwhelm, allowing readers to absorb the meaning of each concept and put it into writing and practice through gentle reflection and purposeful exercises. This book prepares the reader for the 184-page workbook that follows, a comprehensive tool designed for use by individuals in Recovery, as well as by Peer Support Specialists, counselors, and treatment professionals. Whether the recovery journey is 30, 60, 90, or 120 days, both the book and the workbook can be adapted to fit a treatment plan under the direction of a mentor or facilitator. Although they follow a natural and progressive flow through four distinct phases, there is no fixed order required for success—both tools are flexible, personal, and meant to meet each person where they are. This book is more than a resource; it is a declaration you are not alone and your healing matters. With lived experience, professional insight, and grounded guidance, Recovery Integrated is here to provide a clear path forward.
