Eight structured modules with therapist notes, client worksheets, slip logs, trigger maps, and a full relapse protocol — built on CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. Use it session-by-session or as a standalone between-session workbook.
Identifying automatic thoughts and behavioral patterns. Core tools: thought records, cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments.
Urge defusion, values clarification, and psychological flexibility. Particularly effective for shame reduction and committed action.
Establishing safety, recognizing the role of past adversity, avoiding re-traumatization throughout the therapeutic arc.
Meeting clients at their stage of readiness. Resolving ambivalence through reflective listening and values-behavior discrepancy.
Treating relapse as data rather than failure. Building resilience through non-judgmental response to slips and progressive skill development.
Friction principle applied to environment design (Module 5). Implementation intention research applied to if-then planning.
Dopaminergic habituation provides a neurologically-grounded, shame-neutral explanation for escalation. Presenting this in the first session consistently reduces client defensiveness and increases treatment engagement. Each module includes a research callout with relevant citations (Carnes, Tangney, Hayes, Marlatt, Gollwitzer, and others).
Clinical guidance, common pitfalls, and session facilitation tips in every module.
Write-in reflection prompts with answer lines — designed for in-session use or homework.
Four-category trigger identification table with write-in rows — emotional, situational, relational, physical.
Structured data-collection tool for logging relapses as clinical data rather than moral failures.
Four-field personalized relapse response protocol — completed in session while the client is regulated.
16-item behavioral design checklist across phone, browser, bedroom, and high-risk time categories.
Four-ring support system mapping tool with disclosure level guide and script templates.
20-value selection grid with guided reflection on values-behavior conflict and alignment.
Science callout boxes in every module with citations (Carnes, Tangney, Hayes, Marlatt, Clear, and others).
Embedded crisis resources and therapist guidance for when a client discloses suicidal ideation mid-module.
Annotated bibliography of 6 clinical and client-facing books with notes on each.
Five-domain life design tool for Module 8 — relationships, purpose, body, play, and growth.
Psychoeducation on the neurological basis of compulsive use. Shame reduction. Identifying underlying emotional drivers. The therapeutic frame: curiosity over judgment.
Distinguishing shame from guilt. Mapping the five-step shame cycle. Shame vs. self-compassion reframes. The abstinence violation effect introduced proactively.
The cue-routine-reward model. Four trigger categories: emotional, situational, relational, physical. Real-time logging as a between-session practice.
Urge surfing from ACT. Box breathing for acute nervous system regulation. 5-4-3-2-1 grounding for flooding or dissociation. Matching tool to moment.
The friction principle from behavioral economics. Environment audit across four domains. If-then implementation intentions. Systems over willpower.
Normalizing relapse. The four myths that turn a slip into a spiral. A pre-planned 24-hour response protocol. Slip logging as harm reduction. Personal relapse plan.
Connection as therapeutic mechanism. Four support rings. Three disclosure levels with word-for-word scripts. Support network mapping. The accountability effect.
