Recovery and Renewal

This widely successful book is an essential guide for counsellors, doctors, other healthcare professionals, family members and anyone affected by dependency and withdrawal from sleeping pills, other benzodiazepines and antidepressants. Drawn from the author’s personal experience with discontinuing a benzodiazepine prescribed for her dystonia (a neurological condition causing involuntary movements), her many years of supporting others in withdrawal, and her counselling training and expertise, it focuses on healing and empowerment and includes coping tips, success stories, description of symptoms and everything else one needs to know in order to self-care and succesfully overcome this experience.

With over 200 positive Amazon reviews (US, UK and CA), Recovery and Renewal is regarded as a ‘lifeline’ and readers are inspired by the author’s courage and determination. It gives all the validation needed to eliminate the stress that doubts and uncertainty of what is taking place may bring, and does so with the reassuring feeling of one’s hand gently being held.
