The Joyous Recovery is a path back to yourself. In this new guide to emotional recovery, Lundy Bancroft explains where healing comes from and why current approaches aren't bringing us the changes we're hoping for.

So The Joyous Recovery spends just one chapter looking at what's gone wrong, and devotes the other nineteen to explaining what to do about it. Here's just a quick look at what you'll learn:* how to form an effective healing partnership, the game-changer for healing* how to understand the cyclical nature of successful healing, and how to get those cycles turning* how to understand your body's natural plan to keep you emotionally well -- you have an emotional immune system, not just a physical one -- and how to work with it to propel your recovery* how to harness the power of opposites, bringing parts of ourselves together that we thought had to be at war with each other* how to draw upon the exciting power of the Peak Living Network, a peer-led healing support system that costs nothing to participate in* how to make healing a joyful and transforming experience, instead of having it feel like lots of hard work for small gainsThe Joyous Recovery is an approach to emotional healing unlike anything you've encountered before.
