Trauma and the 12 Steps

“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
