About the book
A compassionate confrontation with the past
The title joins two ideas that define the practice: care and confrontation. Carefrontation is a facing of childhood experience that is honest and direct, and at the same time compassionate enough to make facing it possible. The book brings Dr. Drake's clinical understanding of adult survivors to readers who are ready to look at their own histories.
Carefrontation reflects the philosophy at the heart of the practice, The End of Endless Therapy: that understanding the past, recognizing patterns, and doing active, structured work makes meaningful, lasting change possible.
The book is educational and is not a substitute for individual therapy. If you are considering professional support, the practice offers a consultation.

After the book
Many readers move from reading to considering therapy. The practice's services, including individual therapy, group therapy, and inner child work, exist to support exactly that step.

From reading to beginning
If Carefrontation speaks to your experience, a consultation is a natural next step: ask questions, learn about the practice, and decide without pressure.
