Renowned Treatment Expert and Author
Partners with Meadows Behavioral Healthcare to Shine a Light on the
Hope and Humanity Found in Recovery
WICKENBURG, Ariz., April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Claudia
Black, PhD, and Meadows Behavioral Healthcare are proud to
announce the release of Undaunted Hope, featuring a foreword
by Bessel van der Kolk, MD, author of the New York Times bestseller The Body Keeps the
Score.
Claudia
Black, PhD, and Meadows Behavioral Healthcare are proud to
announce the release of her new book, Undaunted Hope.
The book features 21 brave storytellers, all former
patients of Meadows Behavioral Healthcare treatment programs, who
open up to Dr. Black about everything from childhood trauma and
abuse to PTSD, perfectionism, sex addiction, suicidality, substance
use disorders, and family dysfunction. Their experiences may vary
but they share a common thread: Each dark secret and deep hurt
eventually gives way to hope and healing.
Inspiration is only half the story, though. More than a dozen
world-renowned psychotherapists including Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Patrick Carnes, Dr. Richard Schwartz, Pia
Mellody, Dr. Tian Dayton,
Resmaa Menakem, and others provide clinical insights that take some
of the mystery out of therapy. Each story offers several
educational opportunities, demystifying the conditions faced and
exploring the treatment methods used.
As for that title, Undaunted Hope, Dr. Black
explains it this way: "What the title is really about is the
courage that people have had to come to grips with what has
happened in their lives, the courage that it takes to walk through
that recovery process, which is not necessarily easy," Dr. Black
explains.
The hope is that the book would have a broad reach, serving as a
lifeline to those who are struggling and need treatment,
inspiration for anyone on a recovery journey, a guide for loved
ones who feel confused or alone, and a master course for clinicians
and other behavioral health professionals eager to keep learning
and growing. Trauma, mental health issues, and addictions can be
very isolating, often shrouded in fear and shame. This book reminds
readers that healing is possible for anyone willing to do the hard
work.
Available in paperback and Kindle versions on Amazon.com,
the book is also available through Central Recovery Press, the
book's distributor. Learn more about the project at
