They are a new take on the original Twelve Steps. They describe the steps as a mindful program instead of a mystical experience in which change somehow happens to you.</p><p>This book reflects a deep understanding of behavior change, codependency, stress, and trauma. It presents a clear roadmap for self-compassion and mindful self-discovery. It provides specific step-by-step instructions and a broader context that helps readers make sense of the healing process.</p><p>In short, this book is "a user-friendly guide to the application of mindfulness in everyday life"</em>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This clear and well-written book presents a road to recovery in more modern, process-based terms that is, on the one hand, deeply resonant with 12-step traditions and, on the other, a fresh and uplifting reworking of the 12-step model. </p><p><strong>Steven C. Hayes, PhD</strong>, co-developer of <em>Acceptance and Commitment Therapy</em></p><p><br></p><p>Compassionate and supportive, this new approach offers mindful ways to disentangle ourselves from our addictive patterns without shame or judgment. The Proactive Twelve Steps are a welcome gift to the world of recovery, offering healing to the body/mind/soul wounds that occur with addictive processes.</p><p><strong>Suzanne Noel</strong>, Founder, <em>Recovery Focusing</em></p><p><br></p><p>This book invites both self-compassion and a deep dive into conversation with the self around the experiences of addiction, recovery, relapse, and healing, opening the door to including current understanding of the impact of stress and trauma on all of us as we struggle with being human. </p><p><strong>Sarah Peyton</strong>, Author, <em>Your Resonant Self: Guided Meditations and Exercises to Engage Your Brain's Capacity for Healing</em></p><p><br></p><p>Serge Prengel reframes the 12-step model into an efficient manual for self-initiated change. The model brilliantly and succinctly provides a map to disentangle the individual from the pervasive constraints that have resulted in self-destructive behaviors, which have limited opportunities to enjoy life and to experience feelings of purpose and satisfaction. </p><p><strong>Stephen W. Porges, PhD</strong>, Distinguished University Scientist, Kinsey Institute, Indiana University Bloomington </p><p><br></p><p><em>The Proactive Twelve Steps</em> is a user-friendly guide to the application of mindfulness in everyday life. </p><p><strong>Marjorie Schuman, PhD</strong>, Author, <em>Inquiring Deeply: Mindfulness-Informed Relational Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis</em></p><p><br></p><p>You cannot live your best life unless you embrace your fears and vulnerabilities.
