She incorporates techniques from various treatment modalities, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Expressive Arts Techniques, to guide her readers out of trauma and back into their lives."Hey Addiction" serves as an authentic yet authoritative guide, providing best practice skills, reflection exercises, and a dose of humor to address the harsh realities of loving someone with an addiction.

"You don't need to be an "addict" to engage in destructive addictive behaviours. Do you use social media to distract yourself from difficult emotions, or find yourself seeking a boost through shopping, relationships or drinking? Do you feel that you have habits that are holding you back, but you can't seem to break them? You are not alone. This book is for anyone who struggles with addictive behaviour. In it, psychotherapist Tally Fosh sheds light on the true meaning of addiction and the subtle ways it can manifest itself without our awareness. She explores why we often seek external factors to change the way we feel internally, and provides practical tips and tools to help readers break any self-destructive cycle they may find themselves in using easy steps. Hooked breaks down the journey of addiction into four key pillars: discovery, types of addiction, lows and denial, and recovery. It includes practical tools, from expressive therapy to talking therapy, and case studies from real people. With applications of Tally's principles to scenarios applicable to our modern lives and an inspirational foreword from model and mental health advocate Adwoa Aboah, this book is the perfect companion for your journey toward freedom from addictive habits."--

Traducción del original alemán: Alkohol - süchtig oder nicht süchtig, das ist hier die Frage!Todo lo que necesita para dejar de beber es una voluntad firme y alguna información importante sobre la adicción. Este libro contiene los conocimientos condensados de un alcohólico "seco" y describe cómo funciona la adicción y cómo detenerla. El secreto del éxito es sencillo de entender y poner en práctica.Todo lo que tienes que aceptar es esto- La adicción al alcohol es una enfermedad que no tiene cura. Sin embargo, no debe utilizar esto como coartada.- Nunca crea en la bebida controlada. Si sientes que tienes que controlar algo, serás controlado por algo.- Tampoco te pases a la cerveza sin alcohol, al vino, etc., porque esto no cambiará tu patrón de conducta, sino que lo reforzará aún más. Tarde o temprano volverás a las bebidas alcohólicas.Piensa en ello.
