Summary of Morgan Fitzgerald's Mindfulness Skills Workbook For Addiction

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Addiction is a complex issue, and it can be difficult to understand where an addiction comes from. While the origins of an addiction are not important for recovery, focusing on the emotional patterns, thoughts, and stress that someone struggling with addiction is experiencing is important. #2 The biopsychosocial model of treatment is focused on the connections between different factors that affect our well-being. It emphasizes that we all have ownership of our own experiences, no matter what those experiences look like. #3 The cycle of addiction is a pattern that addiction follows. It consists of initial use, tolerance, dependence, the addiction stage, and withdrawal. It is important to understand where a patient is within this cycle so that they can be treated for it. #4 Mindfulness is the simple concept of placing your attention on the present moment, without attaching to or judging your thoughts, feelings, and sensations. When your brain is worried about the future or past, you view your present moment through a filter clouded with events that could or did happen in your life.
