New Workbook Drop: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Urge Surfing in Recovery
Bookenders, you asked so I made it happen!
After the response to my blog post and podcast on urge surfing, I realized something: it's one thing to read about the technique… but it's another thing entirely to practice it, especially when your nervous system is doing back springs inside your brain.
So I created a brand-new workbook to guide you through urge surfing, step by step and a podcast episode to help walk you through it. How exciting is that?
Whether you're in addiction recovery, healing from trauma, or just trying to keep your cool when life starts throwing emotional dodgeballs (If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!), this workbook walks you through how to:
Recognize triggers before they take over
Use breathwork and grounding tools to pause, not panic
Visualize your urges as waves and learn how to ride them out
Build emotional distance without shame or shutdown
Re-shift your energy and reclaim your power
This isn’t a bunch of theory, it’s practical, repeatable, and printable. The workbook is built to help you in real-time, especially when those “oh no, here it comes” moments sneak up.
You can use it on your own, with your therapist, or alongside today’s podcast episode, where I walk you through each step in real time.
No shame. No judgment. Just tools that work when you need them most.
Because you’re not your cravings. You’re not your trauma responses. You’re the one learning how to surf through them—and that deserves a little celebration.
As always, I’m an email or comment away. Unless you’re a solicitor.
Warmly,
Laura
