The resources contained in this site examine areas of negative thinking and thought distortions, common in co-occurring recovery. Destructive thought patterns and inaccurate, exaggerated and irrelevant thoughts are replaced with positive, accurate and reality-based views and beliefs.
Identifying these patterns is the first step to breaking the deception and lies that holds people captive. Once identified, emotional changes in the resulting changed actions can occur and recovery can truly begin.
