Description

TAMING THE BEAST is an alternative twelve-step process of regeneration from addictions to relationships, activities & substances, including foods. It's by Henry Herlong, an astrologer & bodyworker, & Rita Herlong, a nurse practitioner. They have practiced alternative treatment for addiction since 1974. Called "exciting, practical, helpful, & grounded" by Steven Forrest, TAMING THE BEAST is "a logical process (that)...offers expansion to the narrow 12-Step process of A.A."--(Phoenix). "This is a tested program...a book that deserves at least one reading from anyone dealing with addictions.--(Statesman Journal). "It is one of the best approaches I have heard for addictive disorders."-- (Awareness). In TAMING THE BEAST, the Herlongs explain the Twelve Steps of Personal Regeneration. These alternative steps are based on an original, comprehensive theory of addiction that addresses treatment on three levels--the subconscious level of fantasy & belief; the superconscious level of intuition; & most importantly, the unconscious, where old pain is held. The Herlongs discuss dynamic treatment modalities for each level--namely, bodywork for the unconscious, astrological guidance for the superconscious, & clearing techniques for the subconscious.
