Hello, my name is darren

I'm on a path of self-compassion and healing that I'd like to share with you.

Compassionate Recovery is a guided journey through your brain. This book is based on solid neuroscience and personal experience. Part I addresses Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and their effects on addicts, even well into recovery. Part II outlines or changes to our brain circuits, or neuroadaptations, due to addiction.

Part III is what you need to know about the ways we can train our brains to heal through contemplative, bottom-up practices for the individual and the community. Training in mindfulness, self-compassion, empathy and compassion in the context of recovery puts us on a spectrum of recovery that leads to personal and spiritual mastery. Part IV is how to apply the principles and practices alone, and in community.

There are over 100 footnotes, clear images that explain what you need to know as it pertains to your recovery.

This is also a practice guide. The material is difficult to learn about and face in ourselves. But it's the only way to heal. There are dozens of specialized practices to support and sustain you throughout your journey out of the hell of ACEs, into a life of recovery and self-mastery.
