Recovering from loss is hard--even harder when the obstacle to healing is within us.

The RETRACE Protocol is a tool that I created to help us support others who are hoping to avoid a relapse or another harmful behavioral choice. RETRACE stands for Restorative Empowerment Tool for Responding to Acute Compulsion- & addiction-centered Engagements. The tool walks a person through a series of questions designed to bring clarity to thinking, empowerment to volitional ability, and a sense of being cared for to a person who feels alone in their struggle. Most importantly, the tool is designed to promote the struggling person's innate ability to choose good outcomes for their lives.
Available for free, without obligation.
