You Can't Half Step the 12 Steps - Llpc, Linda H Evans Ma

. .

Résumé :
You Can't Half Step the 12 Steps is the application of the 12 steps to other areas of your life. It was written to help people understand how to change the way they think, feel, believe, and thus ultimately changing their behaviors. Once they understand how the process works they are able to change all areas of their lives if they are determined and committed to do so. The most important factor about the change process is (which has been stated by all) that you have to WANT to change. That is what You Can't Half Step the 12 Steps is all about. Linda H. Evans MA, LLPC is a counselor by trade/profession, focusing most of her talents in the area of substance abuse. She has worked in the criminal justice system for nearly twenty years. Her career started out working with delinquent teen boys for fourteen years then expanding to the adult system (Department Of Corrections), working with both men and women. Working with this particular population she has seen firsthand the devastating effects drugs have had on these individuals and their families. Her perspective is enormously different due to the fact that she works on the inside...she teaches and counsels inmates; preparing them to return to the community. In addition to teaching how to decrease relapse she teaches them how to take control of their lives through the choices that are available to them. YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE. She works with the inmates to develop a Relapse Prevention Plan in order to reduce the rate of recidivism.
