Not Drinking Tonight

Help clients pivot away from the question "Am I an alcoholic?" and consider instead "Would my life be better without alcohol?" Amanda E. White, mental health clinician, creator of the popular Instagram account @therapyforwomen, and author of the best-selling book Not Drinking Tonight, is back with this must-have resource for her professional peers: Not Drinking Tonight: The Workbook. Having been sober for 8+ years herself, Amanda tackles therapists‘ most pressing question: How can I help clients whose alcohol use has become problematic but who don‘t identify as "alcoholics" or have no interest in traditional abstinence-based methods like rehab or 12-step groups? Using a harm reduction approach, each chapter contains worksheets and exercises that will help clients examine why they drink and allow them to change their relationship with alcohol as they learn to: ¿ Regulate their emotions without alcohol ¿ Set and maintain healthy boundaries ¿ Redefine what authentic self-care looks like ¿ Navigate sober socializing, dating, and sex ¿ Create a relapse prevention plan ¿ Build a sober life they love ¿ And more!
