TRIGGERING EFFECT by Claudia Black Ph.D.
Putting your finger on the trigger of a gun indicates a bullet is about to be fired. For addicted persons, triggers are signals
that they are entering a stage that brings them closer to relapse. Whether the client struggles with a substance or behavioral
addiction, Dr. Claudia Black asks the viewer to think seriously about triggers and identify warning signs that one is entering a
zone of jeopardy. Claudia sets the foundation for addressing triggers by using the analogy of how triggers are like a roller
coaster that once it begins its downward descent, there is no turning back. Staying on the cutting edge of the field of
addiction, she describes the relationship of triggers to brain chemistry and how triggers can hijack the brain's thinking and
lead to relapse. She reinforces the concept that repeated recovery practices help to rewire the brain. With the use of eight
actors, male and female of all ages, Claudia introduces and discusses six critical triggers. This video can be utilized with an
individual client, in group settings and with families. #12316/0110 36 minutes 2009 Includes PDF Handouts $219.95
THE VOICE OF ADDICTION SERIES
The programs in this new six-part series are ideal aids to help people struggling with substance abuse understand and apply
addiction recovery principles in a simple, fun and unforgettable format. Each video integrates the insights of recovering
people, input from Saul Selby (previously the Clinical Director at Hazelden) and Slick, an animated puppet that represents
the addicted voice designed to help viewers gain insight into their own self destructive thinking process. Each program
can be used as a "lecture" and the same material is broken down into five minute group starters, which can be used with free
downloadable worksheets to assist counselors in leading a group discussion.

denial is, why addicts deny their addiction and how to

they can recognize them in themselves.
6) RELATIONSHIP RECOVERY - Perhaps the most
important task for people in early recovery is to avoid
their 'using' friends and develop new 'healthy' friends.

WAVE OF COMPASSION: Spirituality and the Recovering Addict
What does it mean to be a "functioning" alcoholic? How does it feel to struggle with substance abuse day after day? What
keeps addicts from truly recovering? This program explores such questions from a range of unconventional viewpoints,
creating an honest look at addiction that avoids judgmental or strictly clinical approaches. At the center of the film is
Jimmy, a 41-year-old surfer who describes the drinking problem he has had since age 13. The challenges of recovery are also
discussed by several experts: a physician, a psychologist, a nutritionist, and a social worker - while unique and insightful
commentary is provided by a Native American shaman, a stand-up comedian, and other voices of reason and personal
experience. #12172/0635 47 minutes 2007 $219.95
ANGER: The Bottom Line - Dr. Cardwell C. Nuckols examines how a chronically angry person can be compared to an
alcoholic or addict new to treatment; most are in a state of serious denial. He explains how many such people withdraw, use
alcohol and drugs, attack others, or abuse themselves to try to make their anger go away. He emphasizes the importance of
their taking responsibility for that anger in order to eliminate problems with relationships, getting and keeping jobs, and
staying out of trouble with the law. He provides strategies and techniques that will help viewers change their behavior and
take control of their lives. #11659/2180 Two parts 28 and 21 minutes 2007 $319.95
