The Journey Toward Complete Recovery: Overview

“In this updated edition of Complete Recovery, [Dr.] Picucci describes a ‘Stage Two’ recovery program for evolving beyond freedom from addictions and trauma to ‘holism,’ which encompasses ‘joy, bliss, love, empowerment, creativity, respect for all life, and peace.’”

“[Dr.] Picucci makes an interesting distinction between recovery from addictions and childhood traumas and recovery of fulfillment, wisdom, serenity, and emotional, spiritual and sexual wholeness. Using a structure of 12 ‘stations,’ which can be visited and revisited in any order as often as needed, he guides readers through six ‘fundamental’ and six ‘emergent’ modules of this process for healing the ‘spiritual-sexual split’ and the ‘cultural pain... of oppressed minorities, and ultimately achieving the shame-free presentation of self.’ Picucci offers "nothing less than a re-birthing process" through a combination of one-on-one psychotherapy, community and spirituality.”
