Joanne Brodie is one of the most respected and steadfast counsellors in the field of addiction and a pioneer of recovery in South Africa. Joanne is also one of South Africa’s leading experts in the area of relationship and sex addiction.
Her book, Woman, Trashed, exposes the many doctors and psychiatrists who reached all too easily for the prescription pad; describes the high flying, cocaine-fuelled lives of the rich and powerful circles she once partied in; and never compromises on the truth. As Brodie moves from gallery owner to prostitute to dominatrix and eventually to counsellor to many who sought her help and advice on their own lifetime journeys to recovery, her shrewd, original and on occasion eccentric insights will give courage and inspiration to all.
Here’s a video clip of Brodie discussing the challenges that present when a person tries to overcome his or her addictions:
