I have just bought a copy of Max Kirsten’s excellent new book on recovery called “Self Help, Find Your Self To Help Yourself”

In this new book Max explains the tools he has used and uses to help others. Max gives a very good explanation of how to use the 12 steps but also includes work from his own specialised therapy skills of hypnotherapy, NLP and positivity.  Each of these sections also contains straight forward exercises for us to use which builds this book into a very helpful work book too.

In the resources section of the book, Max is kind to list PROMIS as one of 6 International top treatment centres for addiction.

I recently attended a workshop run by a fantastic man called Dr Rufus May. Rufus featured in the TV documentary called “The Doctor Who Hears Voices” in which his amazing work is explored.
