The book interweaves Wounded chapters of her own story with Healing chapters outlining how she has learned to help others in their own healing journey.

Imagine landing your dream job as an addiction psychologist at the nation’s most prestigious alcohol and drug treatment facility. You’ve spent 8 grueling years earning your Master’s and Doctorate degrees in a program you were never supposed to get into, and you’ve been identified as a rising star in the field. At every turn, leaders are praising you for your abilities. There’s just one catch: you have been doing all this while secretly battling your own addiction. For 3 years you lead a painful double life, presenting to the world as a competent clinician, but privately you are spiraling into hell. Then one day everything falls apart and you must learn what it truly means to heal from an addiction. This is the story Dr. Jamison tells in Wounded Healing: The Art and Soul of Surthriving.

Recorded by the author herself, you get to hear firsthand in her voice the harrowing journey she took, and the triumph she achieved in the end.
