Anatomy of Relapse. Why We Keep Going When We Want to Stop

Relapse isn't a failure of character. Its the predictable outcome of an internal conflict - one that gets worse, the harder you fight it. This book draws on seventeen years of lived experience and a synthesis of modern addiction science to explain why conventional approaches work when they work and fail when they fail. What you'll find here isnt another method. Its the map that shows how methods work internally - spanning major approaches from Internal Family Systems to Motivational Interviewing and Gestalt Therapy. This book doesnt blame addiction on weakness and doesnt deny agency. It offers a framework that is neither brain disease nor moral failing - but a predictable solution to an unsolvable problem, built into the architecture of the mind itself.
