"Corrective Thinking" is a practical teaching/training program that helps people look at their thinking and take responsibility for making changes. It helps individuals focus on making decisions based on rational thought processes rather than reacting to emotions. Corrective Thinking programs serve people of all ages in both recovery and preventive programs.
